North Korea has tested missiles at sensitive times in the past to draw attention to its military might. The South Korean military said Pyongyang launched the missiles at around 0300 GMT. Xi said China opposed the U.S. deployment of the THAAD anti-missile system in South Korea to counter missile and nuclear threats from North Korea. The G20 summit, bringing together leaders of the world's major economies, had largely focused in its main sessions on spurring the global economy, countering protectionism and removing trade barriers. While inaugurating the summit on Sunday, Xi said the global economy was being threatened by rising protectionism and risks from highly leveraged financial markets.
