Chinese Submarine Test-Fires Ballistic Missile

China on Thursday test-fired a new ballistic missile from a nuclear submarine in the Pacific Ocean off Qingdao on the Shandong Peninsula, the Daily Yomiuri reported (see GSN, March 11).

The missile flew several thousand kilometers before landing in a desert. It was likely a Ju Lang 2, a modified version of the Dong Feng 31 ICBM with a range of roughly 8,000 kilometers, Japanese government sources said Friday.

The test could be seen as a warning to the United States against China’s territorial dispute with Taiwan, the Yomiuri reported.

U.S. officials believe China could have 100 nuclear warheads aimed at the United States on Dong Feng 31 missiles by 2015 (Daily Yomiuri, June 18).
