Would be really based if true, but it’s most likely not
It’s definitely a lie to justify nuking China
our noble Google Maps vs their savage Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co Ltd
They have sub meter accuracy on their constellation to which is pretty wild. US military satellites have ~10cm accuracy in a targeted location and Google’s internal data varies from 2m to 20m depending on location. The higher res stuff is usually still from drones or aerial imagery (cameras strapped to planes that are then used to build an orthograpic image, which is why there’s weird distortion in some places).
Even as someone who thinks China is cool, I’m skeptical that they’re that cool.
Yeah this is more of the China bad propaganda.
Come on, it’s pretty believable a satellite corporation is selling imagery to Iran for money lol
Iran has its own satellites.
Yea, like 6 of them and their space agencies budget is 200 million USD
I don’t think it’s farfetched that a Chinese company has far greater capabilities than what they have
China isn’t that cool
The “State linked military org” part is hyperbole but Iran probably does buy satellite imagery to make up for its own poor satellite coverage
CGSTL is part of China’s military-civil fusion program, where private companies are expected to serve military needs when ordered by the government.
Not like our good wholesome western companies who kill people just for love of the game. Palantir’s CEO was just bragging about how they murder people last month.
Our wholesome intelligence sharing vs their insidious spying
Another sinophobic propaganda piece made by the #1 terror organization in the world. It must be nice being their propagandist if you are the biggest anti social person
“state-linked” is a qualifier for all satellite companies anywhere in the world, by the way
adding that to the companies descriptor is meaningless

Here’s a video of the US State Department spokesperson talking about the Chinese company and blaming China. She says that it is China who is against peace in the middle east.
A company from a country… that also does business with a branch of that country’s goverment… is also doing business with another country.
There are like 10 private, for profit, satellite imagery companies is America that will sell you access to their realtime data if you have a credit card and $5000. Iran could also buy from them because of muh free market. But it’s only an issue when they stop buying from them and start buying from a Chinese company that has better data at a lower price.
What a bunch of entitled losers whining about adversaries in a military conflict “peeking” unfairly.
Without reading any of the links it sounds as if houthis having been scoring some wins on their more powerful enemy.
I read the ft link (thanks comrade for supplying both original and archive).
Funniest sentence all week:
Trump has made tackling Red Sea instability a priority, amid concerns that the Houthis continue to pose a threat to the global economy.
Trump’s tariff policy is a greater threat to the global economy than the righteous defense of Palestine under international law.
Very based Chinese capitalists if true
If the US thinks this is propaganda that will turn people against China they are sorely mistaken.
If any of the pro-palestine libs I know heard China were materially supporting the resistance they would become considerably pro-China.
I wondered how they were gonna manufacture consent
I knew they’d manufacture lies of some sort, it was only a matter of time in what it would be about
Yet Starlink is a free enterprise.
