What we know
China’s newest land-based intercontinental ballistic missile, the DF-61, has made its way into routine military training much faster than earlier ICBMs, according to state broadcaster CCTV. That raises the question of whether the People’s Liberation Army is becoming more efficient at integrating new strategic missiles into its nuclear forces.
