Why China would want to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile out into the Pacific
Briefly

This week's test of an intercontinental ballistic missile marks China's resurgence in showcasing military capabilities, with data collection from real-world launch scenarios enhancing their nuclear strategies.
The test was the first of its kind in over 40 years, demonstrating China's military capabilities while also being labeled as a routine part of its training exercises.
By launching the ICBM into the Pacific, China gathered invaluable data on crucial aspects of missile deployment that previous desert tests couldn't provide.
Maps indicated the ICBM traveled approximately 12,000 km before landing in the South Pacific, with China's military confirming the missile came down as expected.
