“Overnight, the head of Taiwan’s national security council, Joseph Wu, posted an image on social media showing the missile arcing across Micronesia and Melanesia, before plunging into the ocean roughly 1,000 kilometres north-east of Solomon Islands.”
“Some Pacific officials have also expressed unease about the test to the ABC, but so far no Pacific nations have issued any public statements criticising Beijing’s actions.”
“The ABC has been told the missile, which was armed with a dummy warhead, flew over the EEZs of at least three Pacific island states, including the Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru and Kiribati.”
“It landed closest to the EEZs of the Pacific nations of Tuvalu and Kiribati, about 1,000km north-east of Solomon Islands, and seems to have hit the water near the border of Tuvalu’s EEZ, or potentially even just inside it.”

“Only hours after the treaty was signed, China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy launched a long-range ballistic missile carrying a simulated warhead from a nuclear-powered submarine into the South Pacific. Beijing described the launch as part of its routine annual military training programme and said it complied with international law and was ‘not directed against any specific country or target’.”
