Hours after Donald Trump’s Republican Party suffered a major setback in the 2026 US Midterm Elections, China has put its latest intercontinental ballistic missile, the DF-61, into the spotlight. Chinese state media reports that the missile has entered routine training with the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force, marking a significant development in Beijing’s nuclear modernisation programme. With an estimated range of up to 9,300 miles, the DF-61 is designed to strengthen China’s land-based nuclear deterrent and counterstrike capabilities. The announcement comes amid growing US-China tensions over trade, Taiwan and military power. Is Beijing sending a strategic message to Washington at a moment of political uncertainty for Trump? Gursshheenkaur Gahllen tells you more on Vantage tonight.
