Podcast: What China's missile demonstration means for New Zealand
Dr Oliver Hartwich
Major General John G. Howard, MNZM (Ret)
9 July, 2026
In this episode, Oliver talks with retired Major General John Howard about a crowded few weeks in global security, from the NATO summit in Türkiye and Trump's renewed comments about Greenland to Russian pressure on Poland's border. They focus on what China's submarine-launched ballistic missile demonstration on 6 July and Australia's new security agreement with Fiji mean for New Zealand, and why our national security system is not moving at the speed of relevance.
