There are some who believe that China's aggressive expansionism and Russia's revanchism is merely a difference of opinion and that actually all that is needed is a sit down around a table and talk it out.

It's a noble, if naive, sentiment, but not one rooted in reality.

That said, we need to keep conflict out of space as much as possible. It would be all too easy to render our orbital environment hostile to all space endeavours because of flaring tempers - and this would be a burden to bear for centuries.
