Mr. Joseph Rodgers, Dr. Bonny Lin, and Dr. Charles Edel discuss the details of the launch, including how China broke with established international code of conduct, what drove China to conduct the missile test, and how regional countries have responded to China’s provocative and destabilizing action.
