China Military Modernization
China's military modernization efforts continue with the test-launch of a ballistic missile from a submarine and the promotion of two military officers to general
China's military modernization efforts are ongoing, with the country recently testing a long-range ballistic missile from a submarine in the Pacific Ocean, as reported by China's latest news. This development is part of Beijing's campaign to modernize its military, which has also included the promotion of two military officers to the rank of general by President Xi Jinping on Friday. The Chinese military has also been involved in joint naval exercises, such as the Joint Sea-2026 exercise, where the Chinese "Aegis" Type 052D destroyer Kaifeng met with Russia's "carrier killer" Varyag, as seen on China Military website. Meanwhile, tensions in the region continue to rise, with the Taiwan Strait tensions remaining a concern, and the Chinese military monitoring the movement of foreign vessels, including a Japanese destroyer that transited the Taiwan Straits, as reported by the Ministry of National Defense.
