Private space services company LeoLabs has recently released data that appears to show a Chinese reusable space vehicle docking with or otherwise capturing a separate object on a number of occasions during its 276-day orbital stint. The Drive reported that this information is alarming, as it suggests that China's space tech could be used to monitor, disrupt, or even attack a political opponent's presence in space.

The state-run China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) has not provided details about the tech's time in orbit, and they did not provide many details about the spacecraft's initial launch back in August 2022.
