China is developing a mobile SMALL sat launcher...


Translated from French by Google..

Chinese aerospace startup One Space has delivered a TEL to a military research institute to prepare for future test flights. 

The Tractor-erector-launcher vehicle is 3.4m high, 19m long and weighs 41t. It seems to be suitable for One Space M and X series launchers
Forgive my ignorance but I'm at a loss for why this would be necessary.  Loss of sats would only happen in a major conflict.  To build mobile launchers would indicate that they're preparing for strikes on their home soil...by us...The United States.

In my worse case scenarios I never envisioned that type of fight with them.  Could they?
