BEIJING — China announced that its military intercepted a missile in mid-flight Monday in a test of new technology that comes amid heightened tensions over Taiwan and increased willingness by the Asian giant to show off its advanced military capabilities.
The official Xinhua News Agency reported late Monday that “ground-based midcourse missile-interception technology” was tested within Chinese territory. The report follows repeated complaints in recent days by Beijing on the sale by the U.S. of weaponry to Taiwan, including PAC-3 air defense missiles.
