## Resource

China is poised to launch a missile into the South Pacific within 24 hours—possibly nuclear-capable, though carrying a dummy warhead—just days after Australia and Fiji unveiled the “Ocean of Peace” defense pact, inviting other Pacific nations to join. This isn’t the first time Beijing has tested missiles in the region; in September 2024, it launched an ICBM with a dummy warhead, prompting New Zealand’s Foreign Minister to call it “concerning.” Chinese naval activity has also surged, including live-fire drills and a fleet of three warships crossing the Tasman Sea in February—marking a historic escalation. With exact timing and location still unknown, regional powers are on high alert as tensions rise and alliances reshape the Pacific security landscape.
