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.
