East Asia Tonight: China launches an intercontinental ballistic missile, the first in decades

Also on East Asia Tonight (Sep 25), in the lead up to Japan’s LDP leadership race to replace PM Fumio Kishida, we spotlight a former defence minister making his fifth attempt at the top job; Beijing investigates the parent company of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger over their boycott of Xinjiang cotton that could see the firm blacklisted; and Chinese border police reportedly being given quotas to identify and expel illegal migrants, making it tougher for North Koreans in China to evade capture.

  1. 今天的中國,是軍事強國,航天強國,科技強國,經濟強國,中國有五千年盛世,只是近百年昏睡了,現在又重回世界之巔,騰飛中的巨龍,任何邪惡勢力都阻擋不了,所以,視中國為友是互利共贏,視中國為敵是自取滅亡!!!

  2. Abby, tell you something about this kind of a career politicians keep coming every time while I grab the power try and try again you think you gonna do something good for Japanese citizen I wish you luck selfish power kind of a politician

  3. "Each country is only allowed 200 nautical miles, and this is fair for all nations. This is part of the international law of the sea. You have your own 200 nautical miles, just like other countries, including the Philippines. BUT WHY DO YOU CHINA WANT 1,000 NAUTICAL MILES, FAR FROM YOUR COUNTRY? YOU ARE SO GREEDY AND RUDE. YOU DON'T FOLLOW THE LAW. YOU MAKE YOUR OWN LAWS AND EXPECT OTHER COUNTRIES TO FOLLOW THEM. THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. YOU ARE SO SELFISH. YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT IN THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT."

  4. As an aussie i believe they have their right to defend themselves entirely especially when those yanks are always threatening them and have their minions just a skip Away and all around them.

  5. It's literally a message delivered to US, BACK OFF, STOP LOOKING FOR TOUBLES AT MY DOOR. Look at the US military bases circulating China, China already expressed its attitude previously, but sadly diplomatic message is not the language that US usually understands.

  6. Hey, USA; why not convert your 750-800 official military bases to universities? Not to mention the 1400 unofficial additional military bases and depots. Win win, get it? Peace.

  7. 32:00 I am completely serious: the Chinese should use their muscle, NEVER visit a country whose public opinion surveys show that 80% of the locals or greater hate, dislike or disapprove of Chinese people. Show them that this is unacceptable. No country is so beautiful that you need to violate your principles. Dubai is beautiful, go there every year instead of visiting the haters even once.

  8. That firing of missile testing is a symbolic message.. That why we need to make monitoring and trace it where direction it may estimated time and where to reach and it a distruct and mind conditioned there testing.. But don't allow to fly over our air space.. To make a leeway tactics and diverting attention.. As making signal for the allies or connivance inside territory targets.. Don't rely or trust to them.. Be alert and prayersful vigilant even night or daytime..

  9. Skepticism? Concerning what? China is just talking to the US on the issue of nuclear deterrents. On this issue, non-nuclear polities, especially subservient non-countries, have no standing to say anything.

  10. Unbelievable amount of people from Singapore still so gullible repeating Western tinted view points and inaccurate info

    Singapore's founders rolling in their graves. Where LKY was ready to call out bullshit, these cretins have been brainwashed by the slavish believe White is right😂

  11. CNA merely parrots West media

    China gave warning to US & Australia/NZ

    Japan is no where near test site

    This test shows :

    1) US instigated tensions on Taiwan and efforts to surround China. Warning shot. A war with China won't be Ukraine 2.O…China can hit the US

    2) Arms race. Where China was content with NO FIRST USE policy (US is not signatory to) and a modicum warhead stockpile previously of 300 (Compared to Russian and US holdings at over 5000)…it can easily ramp up its warhead production overnight

    It already as demonstrated has the delivery systems and targeting accuracy ability

    It's "be careful for what you wish for"

    3) Before West believes it's own propaganda that China missiles are fueled by water, the missiles are all very real and the second artillery force is highly competent

    CNA needs better reporting. It's a second rate outfit otherwise. Only consolation is most of Western mainstream reporting has also descended into the toilet of propaganda and wishful thinking, echo chamber Western lens😂

  12. Nobody attacks China. Nobody threatens to attack China. China is theonly ony one attacking . China attacks unarmed Philippine Coast Guard in the west Philippine Sea while delivering supply to. Soldiers in BRP Sierra Madre. CHINA FIRING AN INTERCONTINNENTALBallistc missle is a serious provocation and flying on Japan's airspace is arrogance .. China has been violating PHILIPPINE EEZ. and refusing to acknowledge UNCLOS . This is how China pea brain thinks

  13. According your program report that China now has 400 units of DF-41, if that is correct, then China should have at least 2000 nuclear war heads because each DF-41 is capable of carrying 5 independently targeted war heads each.

  14. Why Japan concerned, it was your master that didn't informed you. At least, China ifirmed US about it.
    From this century, Japan tried to invade China 2X already.
    The 2nd time they've invaded the whole Asia.

  15. To cover up the crisis in China's banking industry! The fact of large-scale closure of bank stores and branches! The Chinese government has started to cut the deposit interest of 1.4 billion people! For the sake of government interests, the Chinese government has chosen to cut through the savings of 1.4 billion people!

  16. Great day from Dangrek mountain capital hill of krung Preah Beida Sung Khmer Thai. The only future dragonfly capital hill of Asia 🌏 that going to have the largest airport and airbase for direct fly of Boeing and air force from all G7 countries members and Thailand Philippines Indonesia Myanmar and their people living up to a million people and working and business and largest theme Park and largest stadium for FIFA and largest shooting rang in Asia and largest tourists destination capital hill of Asia 🌏 up to 5 millions people per year.

  17. China only have 500 nuclear war heads is a pale comparision to usa 5000+ warheads, though it aims to achieve 1000 by 2030, another six years from now, so no alarm bell for the time being, at least, not after 2030😂😂😂. The test was usual annual routine as announced by the spokeman of foreign affair. It dont carried any warheads. The test landed into the specific place as planned in the ocean not so close to usa#
