‘The world has changed’: Peter Hartcher on China’s extraordinary missile test
About this episode
Peter Hartcher discusses the implications of China's recent missile launch from a submarine and its significance in global politics.
China launched a rare ballistic missile from a nuclear-powered submarine into the Pacific on Monday. It wasn’t just putting nearby countries, like Australia, on notice. It was making a statement that has changed the world, says international and political editor Peter Hartcher. He joins Samantha Selinger-Morris to discuss why this missile launch differs greatly from the one China launched two years ago, and why we have yet to hear a response from US President Donald Trump.
