China tests ballistic missiles with the longest range in the world, capable of striking US or Britain with TEN nuclear warheads

The US, UK and its allies do weapons tests all the time and I can't see us hitting the nuclear button for the hell of it any time soon. It's not unusual for a country to test its weaponry. The papers are using a routine event to cause a moral panic.

Frightening thought!

And we're getting them to build our nuclear power stations.

Don't worry folks, if it's made in China and is like other things they produce, the nose cone will fall off!

They'll probably fall apart inflight

well they would only kill their own country men if they ever struck the uk as it seems half of china now reside here

We might want to by ballistic missiles from China instead of Trident from the US, it bound to be cheaper and now apparently has a longer reach too.

I think China's the least of our worries right now guys!

I thought all nuclear weapons were on standby 24/7 ! And every country that has them has to test them to prove they work !!

While in January the US tested 15 minuteman missiles

I've got a Chinese takeaway in the freezer. Does this mean that I'm safe?

"The rockers are believed to have a maximum range of around 8,700 miles" - That's some motorcycle, then.

Isn't it better the third planet grows than glows? Grow up everybody, once and for all.

Britain has a large pile of cobbles and a very good aim

So tell me why exactly are we so keen to do so much business with them? Are they a threat or not?

Get over it, but it is a statement that actually says, if/when we go for Taiwan and Japan, you shouldn't get involved.

Does it say made in China on the side? Because if it does I doubt it'll be reliable, maybe even be overstated in some respects. Ultimately it's a pointless struggle between fickle civilizations who want feel on the right side of history, We all know this and yet we still feel the urge to keep at it.

Why can't they make everything to this standard? Their plastic stuff is awful.

Don't worry , they're some ways behind the UK. We were sending rockers around the world all the way back in the 1960s

Their re entry vehicles have improved a lot since Obama approved the supercomputer sales to them.
