China fired a missile into the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday following a speech on the international stage by President Biden, in which he called for security in the region.
The Ministry of Defense of the People's Republic of China announced that its military had launched an intercontinental ballistic missile on Wednesday morning.
The missile, which carried a dummy warhead and was not targeting any nation, fell into the ocean without incident. The People's Liberation Army's Rocket Force claims that the launch was part of its routine military training calendar.

Not my fault.
Clinton’s legacy.
The Chinese Communist Party doesn’t want UN 2.0 ,LOL
So soon after the Russian missile event of the other day, interesting.
China showing it’s the tough guy on their block....again
The neocon clowns pushed Russia into the arms of China. If NATO is stupid enough to send its own troops in the Ukraine to fight Russia then expect the Chinese to enter the war.
The Chinese have always done their ballistic missile testing inland. They are actually doing us a favor in terms of intelligence. The Pacific coast of China is ringed with U.S. intelligence sensors.
It will be sweet revenge when our President guts the commies economy with tariffs and sends them back into the 7th century where they belong. Nothing against the Chinese people held in bondage, but the reds gotta go.
Wouldn't it make more sense to say about where in the Pacific Ocean it landed?
The Sea of Japan is part of the Pacific Ocean. So are the waters around Pitcairn Island. Huge difference.
I am pretty sure it was not the Kwajalein Lagoon. (Most heavily radar-instrumented place on earth.) Probably open ocean, not near any U.S. sensors. Sensors on the periphery of China would have seen the launch, and may have tracked it to horizon loss. The Chinese were just making a statement. They may have designed the launch and trajectory to mask, or disguise capabilities.
Some years ago the U.S. fired two Minuteman rounds from Vandeburg AFB, CA, into Kwajalein Lagoon, on two different trajectories, impacting approximately simultaneously at approximately the same point, in full view of a Russian “spy” (instrumentation) ship. The intention was intimidation. We can hit where we want when we want.
If the Chinese wanted to intimidate, they would, for instance, have it land as close to 0 lat, 180, at 00:00 UTC as they could. If the actual impact was 0.001 N, 179.998 E, at 00:00.6 UTC, we would know approximately how much spatial and temporal accuracy they had.
Lazy reporting.
Signed, the Chinese Communists.
Is there any other kind these days?
