China complained that its space station was forced to avoid colliding with satellites launched by Musk's Starlink Internet Services project.

Beijing claimed that the country's space station had close encounters with Starlink satellites.

The UN's space agency has not yet verified China's complaints.

The internet network is operated by Mr Musk.

Even though his electric car company is under scrutiny from regulators, Mr Musk is well known in China.

China submitted a document to the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs this month detailing two incidents that took place in July and October.

Beijing said that the China Space Station implemented preventive collision avoidance control for safety reasons.

A request for comment from the BBC was not immediately responded to by the company.

After the complaint was made public, Mr Musk, Starlink and the US were heavily criticized on China's Weibo.

Starlink's satellites were described as a pile of space junk by one user.

The satellites are "American space warfare weapons" and "Musk is a new 'weapon' created by the US government and and military", others said.

The risks of Starlink are being gradually exposed, the whole human race will pay for their business activities.

Scientists have voiced concerns about the risks of colliding in space and called on world governments to share information about the estimated 30,000 satellites and other space debris.

The Starlink network has almost 1,900 satellites launched by the company.

The space agency NASA put a spacewalk on hold last month due to concerns about space debris.
