At this rate, it seems reasonable to assume they'd use a kill vehicle to take the satellites out.

  You'd see wide-spread jamming well before then.

  The Chinese government isn't stupid enough to commit an act of war and open up their own satellites to retaliation. They'll just ban possession of the ground terminals like they ban firearms, drugs, "subversive" literature, etc. It won't be completely effective but will prevent most people in China from having unfettered satellite Internet access.

    > They'll just ban possession of the ground terminals like they ban firearms, drugs, "subversive" literature, etc. They probably already have. I think their customs forms have a checkbox to declare radios and telecommunications equipment, sort of like the US has for agricultural products. My guess is you'll get extra scrutiny, at a minimum, if you check the box.
