China fires submarine nuclear missile into Pacific

A Chinese Navy submarine launched a nuclear-capable ballistic missile into the Pacific Ocean using a mock warhead, successfully hitting its target. Tokyo had previously urged Beijing to cancel the test. This action has heightened regional tensions and impacted global markets and cryptocurrency. Consequently, smaller Pacific nations are becoming increasingly entangled in rivalries between major powers, as reported by the Japan Times and Xinhua, causing significant instability across the regional geopolitical landscape.
