If this test is JL-3, would it be the second or third publicly disclosed test of JL-3? Certainly the first with a photo... making me doubt the photo is of JL-3. Chinese military does this a lot. Provide the photo of something else for newer weapon tests never before seen.

There was no mention who said this, a Chinese/Russian/USA/Vatican/Japanese/German captain : )
And WHY only the Chinese SLBM threat the peace ?

Probably US, because they think world peace means the US dictates through power and everyone else obeys with no power to fight back. Anything against this vision is a threat to world peace by US standards.
"And WHY only the Chinese SLBM threat the peace ?"
In a neocon right-winger's mind:
China can defend itself by improving its nuclear deterrence -> America cannot simply commit preemptive genocide against the Chinese people anymore (remember the "we actually LOVE the Chinese, but we just HATE your government" rhetorics?) -> America isnt the sole world power with everyone else subservient to them -> Threat to World Peace because America must invent new ways to try to genocide its rivals -> rinse and repeat
