PDB Afternoon Bulletin | July 6th, 2026: China Launches One Of Its Most Dangerous Weapons

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: China conducts a rare submarine launch of a nuclear-capable ballistic missile into the Pacific, prompting alarm across the Indo-Pacific. We explain why U.S. allies are calling the test destabilizing—and what it reveals about Beijing's rapidly expanding nuclear capabilities and evolving nuclear strategy. Hamas says it's prepared to step aside from governing Gaza, but the terror group still refuses to surrender its weapons. We'll explain why that missing concession remains the biggest obstacle preventing President Trump's ceasefire plan from moving forward.
