Summary
China’s navy stunned the region by test-firing a long-range ballistic missile from a nuclear-powered submarine in international waters — a move analysts say signals a major leap in its nuclear deterrence. Though the missile likely carried a dummy warhead and was possibly a JL-3 with a range exceeding 6,000 miles, the lack of adequate notice sparked outrage from Australia, New Zealand, and even China’s regional allies like the Solomon Islands. Critics argue the test violates the spirit of the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone treaty, while China urges calm. Amid rising military modernization and missile development, neighboring nations are scrambling to bolster defenses and deepen alliances — fueling fears of a new arms race in Asia.
