China’s ballistic missile test is set to deepen regional defense ties

Analysts say the missile launch into the Pacific is likely to prompt Asia-Pacific countries to coordinate more closely on defense.

China conducted a rare ballistic missile launch into the Pacific, according to CNBC World.

The event is expected to spur countries across the Asia-Pacific to close ranks by deepening defense cooperation, as regional powers seek stronger coordination in response to the test.

CNBC World said analysts view the move as a catalyst for tightening military and security ties among countries in the region.
