who cares what china and Russia think. We have two options
1. Do nothing and let the thing come crashing to earth and possibly kill someone and or pollute the area.
2. Shoot the satellite down with a missile and have the federal government accomplish its only task in life protecting Americans (and redistributing wealth)
