China’s medium and long-range ballistic missiles might be targeting other nations, but they are still a threat to Taiwan, Ministry of National Defense spokesman Major General David Lo (羅紹和) said yesterday.

“Although China’s medium and long-range ballistic missiles are aimed at other countries, they still pose a threat to Taiwan. We hope Taiwanese understand this, even if China’s short-range missiles are the biggest threat to Taiwan,” Lo said after a ministry news briefing.

Lo was responding to an 8,000-word report published on Monday by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Daily detailing the strategic missile forces under China’s Second Artillery Corps.     [FULL  STORY]
