China says ICBM successfully tested in remote Pacific • FRANCE 24 English

China said it test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile on Wednesday, firing it into the Pacific Ocean in its first such exercise in decades. FRANCE 24's Mark Owen speaks to Alessio Patalano, Professor of War & Strategy in East Asia at King's College London. He says that the latest test is likely to raise the temperature in the region as it was conducted from the island of Hainan rather than from an inland launching site. #China #Taiwan #Pacific 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X (Twitter): https://f24.my/Xen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
