## Resource

China is set to launch a nuclear-capable missile test in the South Pacific within 24 hours, widely seen as a direct response to a new defense pact signed between Australia and Fiji — a deal some are calling a mutual defense treaty. The test, reportedly using a dummy warhead, has prompted regional alerts, with Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong briefed by officials who received advance notice from the Chinese Embassy. Meanwhile, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is weighing involvement, eyeing early participation to shape the pact’s future — underscoring the escalating geopolitical chess game across the Pacific.
