Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian China has already made clear its position on the test launch. The claims by the Palauan side are completely groundless, malicious in intent and not worth mentioning, Lin Jian, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said on Tuesday.
Lin made the remarks when responding to a media inquiry about reports that Palau President Surangel Whipps Jr. hoped Pacific island countries could form a "united position" on China's missile test. Whipps claimed that, from China's standpoint, they want us to know that "any one of your islands, we can take out." He also questioned why China chose to test-launch a missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead near Tuvalu and the Solomon Islands, rather than over the vast open waters between China and the US.

B | Kiev, Oct 14 (UNI) Ukrainian lawmaker Oleksiy Goncharenko put on a brave front on Friday after SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said his company could no longer afford to pay for Ukraine's access to the Starlink internet service.
SpaceX reportedly wrote a letter to the Pentagon asking the US government to foot the bill that Musk estimated at $20 million a month.
"This is normal practice. Musk’s company made good PR helping Ukraine and then sent a letter asking the Pentagon to pay for the use of Starlink. Nothing tragic, nothing scandalous here. It's business and profits are on everyone's mind," Goncharenko said on social media.
"Ukraine is grateful to Musk for Starlink and we will now be grateful to the Pentagon and the people of the United States for paying for the terminals. Hold the line and don’t panic," he added.
Musk said on social media on Friday that the cut in funding was his response to former Ukrainian envoy to Germany Andrij Melnyk who told the billionaire to "f*ck off" after Musk proposed a solution to the Ukrainian conflict.
