On Wednesday, after President Biden's speech on international security, China launched a missile into the Pacific Ocean.

On Wednesday morning, the People's Republic of China's Ministry of Defense announced that its military had launched an intercontinental ballistic missile.

The People's Liberation Army's Rocket Force claims that the launch was part of its routine military training calendar. The missile, which carried a dummy warhead and was not targeting any nation, fell into the ocean without incident.

Hours before his departure, Biden delivered his final address to the UN in New York, addressing security issues.

Biden emphasized the danger to Western interests posed by China and called for peaceful solutions.

"We must adhere to our principles while managing competition with China to prevent conflict," he stated. "We are prepared to collaborate on pressing issues for the benefit of our people and all nations."

"Biden stated, "We have resumed cooperation with China to halt the circulation of lethal synthetic narcotics. I value the partnership. It is crucial for the well-being of my citizens and those in numerous other countries.""

The president stated that the United States is firm in its convictions, standing up against unjust economic competition and military coercion in the South China Sea, preserving peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits, and safeguarding its cutting-edge technologies to prevent their misuse against the US or its allies.
