China’s Response: China’s foreign ministry urged countries not to “overinterpret” the test, saying it was routine training, notified in advance, and complied with international law. Governance & Independence Day: The missile row unfolded alongside Solomon Islands’ 48th Independence Day celebrations, with leaders using the moment to press for tighter regional rules against missile testing in the Pacific.
