China Accuses US of Double Standard on Missile Test on July 9

According to China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning on July 9, the missile test was a routine annual military exercise aimed at verifying the reliability, safety, and effectiveness of the weapon systems. The Chinese military notified the United States in advance and released relevant information promptly, reflecting transparency and openness.

Mao Ning criticized the U.S. response as a "typical double standard and hegemonic practice," noting that the United States is the only country to have used nuclear weapons and possesses the world's largest and most advanced nuclear arsenal.
