The US State Department said China notified Washington only hours before a July 6 submarine-launched ballistic missile test in the southern Pacific Ocean and omitted key details.
A State Department spokesperson told the South China Morning Post that the US monitored China’s submarine-launched ballistic missile test on July 6, which landed in the southern Pacific Ocean.
The spokesperson said Beijing’s notification to Washington came only hours before the launch and lacked key details expected among established nuclear powers.
Washington described the notification as falling short of the standard followed by other established nuclear powers.
