Taiwan Says it Faces More Chinese Missiles
From Wednesday, January 2, 2008 issue.
China is now aiming 1,328 ballistic missiles at Taiwan, an increase of more than 300 from the last estimate, Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian said yesterday (see GSN, Dec. 12, 2007). Chen said his government had estimated earlier that 988 short-range ballistic missiles were aimed at Taiwan, Reuters reported. China was believed to have deployed 200 missiles when Chen first assumed office in 2000, he said. China considers Taiwan to be part of its territory and has said that any move by the island toward formal independence could be met with military force (Reuters, Jan. 1).
