China Tests Missile – But Here’s Why It Wasn’t a Next-Generation JL-3
China’s People’s Liberation Army conducted an unannounced missile test on Sunday, which was picked up by Chinese social media. Collin Koh, a military analyst at RSIS, said that media hype after the launch, which was deliberately left uncorrected, had been used to address public concerns and expectations in China. “Sometimes it’s difficult to conceal military activities and missile launches can be observed by the public, such as the rocket trails and light,” Koh said.
