Beijing's Historic ICBM Launch into Pacific Waters: Stark Warning to West from China and Russia?
In a groundbreaking move, Beijing has successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into the Pacific Ocean for the first time since 1980.
This "routine" test, which China claims is not directed at any specific country, marks a significant shift in its military capabilities and strategy.
Analysts suggest the missile is likely a Dong Feng-41, capable of reaching up to 15,000 kilometers.
The launch has raised concerns among neighboring nations, highlighting China's growing assertiveness on the global stage.
Tensions rise in the South China Sea as a top U.S. Navy commander delivers a bold statement, declaring that China is facing increasing resistance from regional powers and that “no nation will surrender” to Beijing’s maritime ambitions. The remarks, seen as a direct warning to China, come amid a surge in joint naval drills, freedom of navigation operations, and growing pushback from countries like the Philippines, Vietnam, and Japan.

In a high-stakes meeting amid growing trade hostilities, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Kuala Lumpur during the East Asia Summit. This marked Rubio's first Asia visit since taking office, aiming to reaffirm U.S. presence in the Indo-Pacific. However, Trump's sudden tariff offensive—slapping 25-40% duties on major Asian economies—has intensified regional friction. China condemned the U.S. move as "bullying behavior," warning nations against cutting Beijing from global supply chains.
Rubio also discussed security and tech cooperation with Japanese, South Korean, and Southeast Asian leaders. While Rubio remained tight-lipped during the talks, Wang launched a blistering critique of U.S. policies. Meanwhile, ASEAN ministers voiced alarm over trade disruptions, signaling a tilt toward diversification. With deadlines looming and diplomacy on edge, the clash of giants over Asia’s future has just begun.

Beijing has launched a fiery response to the U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a sweeping 50% tariff on Chinese copper imports, calling the move reckless and “dangerous.” Chinese officials accused Trump of reigniting an aggressive trade war that threatens global markets and bilateral stability. The steep tariff, aimed at curbing China's industrial advantage, has rattled commodities markets and sparked warnings from economists about potential supply chain disruptions.

In a bold display of military preparedness, Taiwan has launched large-scale live-fire drills under its annual "Han Kuang" military exercise. These drills, the biggest in the island's history, include the debut of U.S.-made M1A2T Abrams tanks and a record mobilisation of reservists. President Lai Ching-te personally oversaw the training, asserting Taiwan’s readiness to defend against any Chinese aggression.
Drones, tanks, and innovative new combat tactics were put to the test over the 10-day drill. With tensions escalating in the Taiwan Strait, this unprecedented military build-up sends a sharp message to Beijing. While China continues to ramp up pressure, Taiwan's latest exercises showcase not only resolve but modernization in warfare. The Han Kuang drills aren't just defensive—they're a signal that Taiwan is preparing for the unthinkable and doing so with Western-backed firepower.
