US criticizes China for short notice ahead of missile test

China only gave the United States a few hours notice ahead of a ballistic missile test launch on July 6 and provided insufficient detail, a State Department official said on Wednesday.
China’s military test-fired the missile from a nuclear-powered submarine into the Pacific on Monday, Chinese state media reported, drawing criticism from the U.S., Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan.
The State Department official’s comments on Wednesday amplified Washington’s increasing concern about the launch.
