Island nation Tuvalu feared tsunami from China missile test
China gave no warning on the early July missile test and did not say it would land so close to the island, said a senior Tuvalu foreign affairs official.
China's recent ballistic missile test has left residents of Tuvalu, a low-lying Pacific island nation, fearing a potential tsunami, according to a senior foreign affairs official from the island. The test, conducted in early July, occurred without any warning from China and landed in close proximity to Tuvalu. Pasuna Tuaga, the official, stated that it is crucial for regional countries to communicate to Beijing that such an action is unacceptable. He emphasized the importance of addressing the issue before a real incident occurs.
