According to analysts, this series of test launches is seen as an armed protest against the US, a country that China believes is trying to interfere in important issues.
The Global Times and many other Chinese media outlets reported on June 2 that Chinese forces conducted exercises over the weekend in the Bohai Bay area.
Meanwhile, the US defense website Defense Blog speculated that China test-launched a new SLBM called Dai Lang-3 on June 2. This missile is designed as an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) equipped on nuclear submarines.
This domestically produced Chinese weapon has a range of 12,000-14,000 km, threatening the American continent and the entire European continent.
Previously, at the Asia Security Conference (known as the Shangri-La Dialogue) held in Singapore from May 31 to June 2, a Chinese representative warned the US not to interfere in China's internal affairs./.
