Summary
Pacific leaders are sounding the alarm over China’s recent intercontinental ballistic missile test, which flew over several island nations with little warning — prompting calls for 24-hour advance notice as standard practice. While the statement is tougher than last month’s diplomatic consensus, not all nations agree: Nauru quietly dissented, and Kiribati’s president skipped the meeting entirely, sending a representative who was briefly overlooked before being corrected. New Zealand’s PM clarified no one was excluded, calling the final statement a practical compromise reflecting broad agreement. China pushed back, accusing Palau of exaggerating the issue and using Pacific allies as leverage, insisting its military isn’t expanding and it seeks regional peace. Despite tensions, the group still united on the need for transparency in missile testing. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
