China flails impotently at the ocean, while USA subdues Iran, essentially took over communist Venezuela and Cuba.
That's the difference between a Superpower and wannabe lol

US and Austalia sailed their warships in South China Sea and even through Taiwan strait, literally less than 100km away from China's coastline. What would you call that?
@
WARMONGERS

Peter had been stirring Australia to send navy and air force to the doorsteps of China😂 it is only fair to have China to send their military present close to our shore right?😂 so as Peter can then lobby Australia to squeeze more out to feed his real boss😂😂

We didn't buy our s**t off Temu.

Only nations with a guilty conscience are scared of this missile test
@
China would smoke the US in a war. US is nothing more than a paper tiger. Over confident, over extended, 30 trillion in debt, outdated military. Over weight population. What a joke
@
USA ran many many nuke test in the pacific….and its for peace.
China ran an empty missile test and it’s for war.
USA fight wars and killed millions for peace……got it 👍
@
Alarm the US? There would be quite a few nukes aimed at China 24/7. 😂
@
America the genocide funding warmongers.
@
I am more afraid what our Australian governments can do to us than any imagined Chinese Threat.. western governments are very dangerous to any population
@
Good on the Chinese
Who says they cannot do that snd only corrupt America can do it.
Dumb Aussie politicians you backing the wrong horse.
@
Australians putting their trust in the epstien class lol

China is sending a message to the US? The Chinese has been modernizing it's armed forces for some time now. Part of that has been increasing the number of nuclear weapons. The Pentagon releases figures on this. Currently the US estimates China has 600 nuclear devises and this will increase to 1000 in four years. This makes China the third largest nuclear power. The US knows that China has various delivery systems including six submarines armed with warheads.
Doing a weapons test of a missile thus demonstrates nothing to the US. They know all this stuff. The report is attempting to make something look more serious than it is
@
China has had ICBMs since the 70s
What sort of reporting is this? ?
@
America create wars everywhere including Ukraine war
@
As Australia's boss, US acts very calmly
@
It goes both ways, Xi. As to the modernization that is being mentioned.... do you really think that the United States would telegraph to anyone what the state of nuclear readiness is? If you're truly uncertain, or if you believe the United States to be unready, then you're talking through your hat.

Don't poke the bear, Reds. You're not the only one with atomics
