China Tests Nuclear Capable SLBM in the South Pacific Shortly After Fiji & Australia Sign Defense Agreement
China is apparently trying to intimidate other South Pacific states from joining Australia’s security alliance:
“China has conducted a long-range missile test in the South Pacific just hours after Australia signed a defence agreement with Fiji, sparking condemnation from Canberra and regional leaders.
The Australian foreign minister, Penny Wong, said the missile test was “destabilising” to the region while her New Zealand counterpart, Winston Peters, described it as “deeply concerning”.
A test missile topped with a dummy warhead landed in “designated waters” of the Pacific, China’s state news agency Xinhua reported on Monday. The missile test was a “routine arrangement” of China’s annual military training, with prior notification to relevant countries, Xinhua said.

CCP is a crybully with huge vulnerability on fuel shipments.
If Fiji really thinks they are worth a Chinese nuke, they deserve to live in fear.
The real enemy of the pipsqueek Pacific island nations, as demonstrated by history, is New Zealand diversity hire female lesbian ship captains which have demonstrated the ability to sink ships and wreck the environment.
China would never nuke the resources they intend to exploit.
Hey, New Zealand! How’s that Nuclear Free Zone working out?
While I respect Elon Musk, I am glad this is ROK Drop and not Grok Drop.
Make of that what you will.
I wish it was Croc Drop because it would give me a daily excuse to lube up with some of this Crocsbutter.
CH, you’re sounding a bit more Florida Man than is proper… Then again, he probably used meth instead of crocsbutter…

Matthew Wale, Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands: “China is a good friend of the Solomon Islands, but this is not something a friend does. This is not good in our region.”
“And as chair of the Pacific Islands Forum I have registered my strong protest yesterday with the ambassador. Solomon Islands also lodged a protest note.
“We don’t want to see any more countries — China, America, anybody — testing [intercontinental ballistic missiles] in the Pacific Islands region, that’s the bottom line.
“Be our friend, but don’t threaten us.”
Stephen Dziedzic and Tom Lowrey, Pacific leaders criticise Chinese nuclear-capable missile test as ‘reckless’, Australia Broadcasting Corporation, 7 July 2026.
I’m glad the Aussie Labor Party is now in charge of Australia’s foreign affairs after the disaster that was that troika of liberal stooges: Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison.
“And as chair of the Pacific Islands Forum, I registered my strong protest yesterday with the ambassador. Solomon Islands also lodged a protest note.”
Quantum theory says that if the Solomon Islands lodges a strong protest note and nobody observes any consequence, then functionally, it didn’t happen.
If more politicians understood qubits, superposition, and wavefunction collapse, there would be fewer strongly worded letters and more uncredited aerosol organic mercury attacks on the Beijing subway at rush hour.
With all possible outcomes existing in a probability field, the power of quantum computing lies in lowering the the probability of undesired outcomes through destructive interference.
And nothing interferes destructively like anonymous mass destruction every time China tests a weapon of mass destruction.
And to think so many of my high school classmates bitterly complained they would never use hyperdimensional Hilbert space quantum tensor optimization in real life.
