I did search it before I wrote my original comment, thats what I cited about the anti-satellite satellite effort China did. So I've already taken the time and came up empty. You're saying it exists, but I didn't find it in my original search. So I'm asked you because you encountered the info firsthand and may have a better chance of finding it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Chinese_anti-satellite_missile_test#%3A%5C%7E%3Atext=A+Chinese+weather+satellite%E2%80%94the%2Cdirection+%28see+Head-on+engagement
Literally one of the first things that popped up if you search for China rocket destroys satellite.
Thank you for that link, I appreciate it. Here's what I searched, and as you can see your link doesn't show up:
Your direct link does indeed show China successfully tested it. Thanks!
Yeah that's one thing that is always been a skill is you got to make sure you search things correctly. Not saying that you didn't necessarily search correctly, however searching for China anti-satellite is not the same thing as China destroys satellite. You have different keywords different things that it references. It's one of the biggest things as an IT guy that you learn. Is how to properly format searches in order to locate the exact information that you need. And just as an FYI I also searched it through duck duck go just on mobile rather than on a desktop.
