China plans to divert asteroid from Earth to show defensive potential
China appears to have chosen the target for its first planetary defense mission, which was discussed by the Planetary Society in an article in the Journal of Deep Space Exploration. The country plans to launch it later this decade to crash into an asteroid, while scientists observe the object and the effects of the collision.
According to an article by the Planetary Society, a non-profit organization, the Chinese space agency CNSA may consider asteroid 2015 XF261 for its mission. It is a space rock close to Earth measuring 30 m in diameter. The object passed by Earth on Tuesday (9) and was 50 million kilometers from our planet.

That is a talent we want to have if necessary.
The first time I saw it in a newspaper, it talked about the possibility of an asteroid hitting Earth, I was 6 years old, I was very scared. LOL
Almost 30 years ago, people already imagined the possibility of using lasers.
