The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Chinese website wrote today (July 6): "According to Xinhua News Agency, China's naval strategic nuclear-powered submarine launched a ballistic missile with a simulated warhead into the Pacific international waters. China stated that the test launch was not targeted at any specific country or objective. Australian Deputy Prime Minister Marles expressed 'deep concern' over the event."
[Sarcastic] Commentary: China’s test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile, covering half the globe with its range and targeting the open Pacific Ocean, is clearly aimed at strategic nuclear deterrence—primarily intended for global superpowers capable of long-range strikes and missile defense systems. The connection to Australia is virtually nonexistent. Immediately after the news broke, Australia had just signed a new military agreement with Fiji. Marles insisted he did not believe this missile test was a response to that new pact.
