ASIA-PACIFIC REPORT

摘要

The People s Republic of China (PRC) has completed a base for approximately 100 CSS-7 (M-11) missiles at Xianyou, just 135 miles from the Republic of China (ROC, or Taiwan). The truck-mounted missile carries an 800-lb. warhead more than 180 miles. The missile uses jam-proof inertial guidance, and current mobile launchers are believed to have GPS launch-reference positioning. In addition, a ROC official was recently quoted as saying that the US has substantially upgraded the military of the PRC, most flagrantly during the mid-1990s.
