The US recently claimed that China has fielded new, longer-range submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) to threaten the US, but Chinese military experts said on Sunday that China s SLBM development aims to defend itself from nuclear blackmail, and that the US military s speculation has ulterior motives which would see it gain more funds to enhance its capabilities.
