India has successfully tested a nuclear long range ballistic missile that can reach two major Chinese cities. Indian officials expressed pride saying that the test proved “that the country has taken its place among the world’s most powerful and scientifically advanced nations.” India’s focus on long range capacities signals a shift in focus from its neighbor Pakistan to regional rival China. Analysts note that China still holds a strong advantage over India in missile capacity.
