The complications are enormous. Now satellites have to be fixed anti missile systems in addition to airplanes. This would directly lead to another type of cold war. Though they wont be a wall exactly, this would deteriorate China's relations with many countries. But there is just a sentence or two today about them in the news, not much brouhaha. I think its might just take a day or two, to estimate the effect.
It need not be missile, its just another object placed in the same orbit as a satellite, only much more effective. It directly targets the satellite. Now they will take it a bit further, trying to destroy multipe targets at once.
This scenario is not altogether sudden. War strategists in U.S always assume doomsday scenario's and write papers on them. One suggested having extra fuel on the satellite to avoid a missile just in time to avoid a missile by detecting it. Some shit huh!!!
Taiwan would be most affected by this bully move. US and Israeli defence corporations now have a chance to manufacture anti missile satellite defenses. Another cash cow for them, demand created thanks to china.
What about India? It only has weather and educational satellites and some high efficient cartographic camera's. Nothing to be afraid of... but definitely to think about.
