- Pacific Islands Forum leaders failed to reach unanimous condemnation of China's ballistic missile launch at the summit, per AP News.
- Taiwan condemned China's 'wolf warrior' behaviour at the forum while Beijing accused host Palau, with The Economist reporting the gathering 'fizzled' as China flexed its muscles.
Why it matters: The forum's failure to reach consensus leaves Pacific nations without a unified response to China's missile test, while the public split between Taiwan's criticism and Beijing's accusations against host Palau reveals how China's military posturing is fracturing regional diplomatic forums.
