China fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile into the Pacific Ocean on Monday, sparking concerns among longtime U.S. allies in the region.<\/p>\n

A Chinese military official\u00a0called the test part of a routine \u201cannual military training schedule,\u201d but Australia and New Zealand expressed concern that China\u2019s actions disturbed the peace in the Indo-Pacific region, CNN reported. It is not yet known what type of missile China used in the test.<\/p>\n

\u201c[A People\u2019s Liberation Army\u00a0Navy submarine] launched a strategic missile carrying a dummy warhead toward relevant high seas of the Pacific Ocean, which landed precisely within the designated waters,\u201d Wang Xuemeng, spokesperson for the PLA Navy told CNN. \u201cThe operation was in accordance with international law and practice, targeting no specific country or objective.\u201d<\/p>\n

China\u2019s navy has two types of submarine missiles: the JL-2 and the JL-3. The JL-3 can fly far enough from waters near China to reach the mainland United States, according to CSIS\u2019 ChinaPower Project.

The White House, Department of War, State Department and U.S. Pacific Command\u00a0each did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Zealand considers this an unwelcome and concerning development. We, like our neighbors in other Pacific countries, have no interest in China using the South Pacific as a testing site for missile capability,\u201d New Zealand\u2019s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Winston Peters, said, according to CNN.<\/p>\n

Peters said China informed New Zealand of its plans to launch the missile into the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone early Monday morning, per the outlet.<\/p>\n

The missile test is \u201cdestabilizing to the region\u201d and must be viewed \u201cin the context of a rapid military build-up by China,\u201d Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said, according to CNN.<\/p>\n

China sent nearly 80 PLA aircraft near Taiwan during the COMPUTEX Taipei conference between June 2 and June 5, leading to a naval standoff. The conference drew top names in chips and AI, which, according to the event\u2019s exhibitor list, included Intel, Nvidia and SK Group.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Chinese President] Xi Jinping has assured President [Donald] Trump that China will not invade Taiwan, guaranteeing a free and open Indo-Pacific for the rest of the president\u2019s term in office,\u201d a senior White House official told the DCNF in June. Taiwan\u2019s chip industry supplies \u201cmore than 90% of leading-edge chip manufacturing\u201d in the world, according to the Department of Commerce.

U.S. intelligence officials suspected Beijing may have sent Iran shoulder-fired missiles in April, during the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran. China buys about 90 percent of Iran\u2019s oil exports, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) \u00a0in March.<\/p>\n

China fired its first open-ocean ICBM test in over four decades when it fired a nuclear-capable DF-31B missile from Hainan Island into the Pacific near French Polynesia in September 2024, according to The Guardian.<\/p>\n
