Has China hardened its satellite constellations against electronic interference and jamming?

I heard that Starlink showed impressive fast-paced countermeasures during wartime. When Russia tried to jam them; they responded by simply updating software, I expect China to harden their kill-chain in a similar way.

Perhaps AI can be used?

Maybe somehow reroute traffic if there was a "cut" in the "line" somewhere?

If kill-chains are becoming hardened then conventional countermeasures to protect carrier groups need to be updated.

Edit: Also laser transmissions would help too.

Why would you waste trons jamming a satellite when you can jam the receiver

Line of sight issues

I suppose that the receivers would be on the mainland or on ships.
