Guess for the same reason the USA tells other countries not to develop
nukes while they have them theirselves?

Who is the USA to decide such things?

And, in the same line of thought, who is China to decide such things for
other countries.

This is where political connections come into play, it isn't easy.

China is telling the US to not carry out missile defense tests. The
US should respond by emphasizing that the satellite will be
intercepted only to protect human life, and this will be no missile
test because the missile system has already been perfected. As long
as GW Bush behaves toward China the way he has toward Africa, there
won't be any problems.

Missile-ready China warns U.S. against plan to destroy spy satellite
By David Lague
Published: February 18, 2008

BEIJING:

In response to a U.S. plan to shoot down a malfunctioning spy satellite,
China has warned against threats to security in outer space, without
mentioning its own successful anti-satellite missile test last year.

But, OK for China:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6289519.stm

China has confirmed it carried out a test that destroyed a satellite, ...
China is now only the third country to shoot something down in space

Who do they think they're talking to?
