voa, Taiwan is reported to have developed and successfully test fired surface-to-surface missiles that could hit parts of China.
The mass-market Liberty Times says the new missiles, called Hsiung-feng 2A and Hsiung-feng 2E, are similar to cruise missiles, and can be programmed to seek out and hit land targets.
The newspaper quotes military sources as saying the weapons could hit cities in coastal or interior China.
It is not clear from the report how many missiles have been manufactured or if any have been deployed. Development of the missiles is a sensitive issue because Taiwan has previously pledged to buy or develop only defensive weapons.
