Australia to Warn China at ASEAN: "Will Not Be Bullied" Over Provocative Missile Test

Foreign Minister Penny Wong will tell the ASEAN foreign ministers' meeting in the Philippines on July 22, 2026, that Australia and neighboring nations "will not be bullied" by China's "provocative" actions. She will cite a July 6 nuclear-capable submarine-launched missile test that Australia calls "provocative and destabilising," saying it "came with too little information and notification." New Zealand, Tuvalu, and Fiji also condemned the test.
