Sure...If the US has this technology, you can bet that the PLA has it too. China has a full range of methods to take out US satellites. Shooting down satellites is just one of our methods.
The US has not proven it is ahead of China in ASAT.
Going by your 'logic', since the US have the Space Shuttle, would you be willing to bet China has one as well?
Buddy, the US have been in space far longer than China has and accomplished far more for space exploration as well. We have satellites whose missions have been long and secret when your fathers were still trying to figure out the TV remotes. We got telemetry intelligence (TELINT) and mappings of just about every space capable country that managed to put something in orbit. We got them from continuous satellite stations, from short duration Shuttle missions, as well as from atmospheric flights by EM recon aircrafts.
So yah...Bet your country's future away...
