US advises allies to shun Chinese satellite services in leaked memo

Quick Summary:

It was not clear whether the memo was addressing long-standing Western allies or all of the United States' trading partners.

Viasat Inc was hit by a cyberattack in 2022 before Russia invaded Ukraine, which required the replacement of over 45,000 modems throughout Europe and beyond.

Large satellite companies with existing links to the US government have already been targeted.
