According to:

The Chinese have been taking potshots at U.S. Satellites with a
ground-based
laser. What can/should the U.S. do about this?

China is trying to tell the US something. Be very, very cautious and try to
LEARN from it.

When you discover that "they" really are out to get you, you may realise
that you're not quite as paranoid as you thought you were.

Take pot shots at Chinese satellites. The US has been plinking stones on
the moon and raising dust clouds with a charged particle beam laser for
years.

50% of all statistics are wrong. The rest don't matter.

They should do nothing, because of the hidden Soviet missile bases in
the Pacific Ocean just south of the Bering Strait.

What? You've never heard of them? Well, just read my CITED SOURCES; the
psychic visions of Edgar Cayce, for example.

If the Chinese *really are* taking potshots at U.S. satellites, that's
another thing.

Of course, if this is simply a question of Chinese astronomical
observatories using adaptive optics - and, because they're not notified
of when U.S. spy satellites pass overhead, unlike U.S. observatories,
accidents happen... how can the U.S. complain?
