China and the US create a ‘space hotline’ to avoid conflicts

China and the US have set up a “space hotline” to prevent orbital mishaps and misunderstandings from leading to conflicts. They previously had to go through each other’s diplomatic channels — a big problem when there’s an imminent satellite collision or rocket test. Now, they should know the truth right away.
