Russia on Monday defended its ally China’s test-firing of a “strategic” missile carrying a dummy warhead into the Pacific Ocean.
“We believe it is the sovereign right of China to test its missiles. China is not threatening anyone in the world,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in response to a question by AFP.
Australia and Japan were among the regional powers to criticise the rare show of military might be Beijing, which came on the same day Australia and Fiji signed a major defence treaty.
