00:00At 8.44 on September 25, the rocket force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army successfully
00:07launched an intercontinental ballistic missile carrying a dummy warhead into the high seas
00:12of the Pacific Ocean, which accurately fell into the expected sea area.
00:17This missile launch is a routine arrangement of the annual military training plan, in line
00:21with international law and international practice, and is not directed at any specific country
00:26or target.
00:30What creates the risk of insecurity is precisely the US and its allies, whose planes approach
00:35China's waters and airspace to harass and provoke China, illegally intruding into China's
00:40territorial waters or jurisdictional waters, maliciously interfering with China's normal
00:45drills and training activities, and irresponsibly engaging in dangerous maneuvers that seriously
00:50jeopardize China's sovereignty and security interests.
