“Quantity should be reduced, quality improved to build a capable and efficient modernized standing army,” he said, adding that China must develop a joint operation force system with the elite force at its core.

The Chinese armed forces have also demonstrated their military muscle following Mr. Trump’s nomination of retired Marine Corps General, James Mattis as his Defence Secretary. In tune with the nomination, China’s military has carried out flight tests of 10 DF-21 intermediate-range ballistic missiles. These missiles “can destroy U.S. Asia-Pacific bases at any time,” the Xinhua reported.

According to Xinhua, the DF-21 can be compared with the U.S. Pershing II intermediate-range missile.

The core design of the DF-21 has spawned a family of missiles, including the naval “carrier killer” “DF-21D, which has been built specially to neutralise the U.S. dominance of aircraft carriers in the Asia-Pacific region. Another variant of this missile is apparently a part of China’s anti-satellite arsenal.

China Flight-Tests 10 DF-21 Missiles
Show of force comes amid transition to Trump



DF-21 salvo launch

China’s military conducted a salvo of 10 missile flight tests late last month in a show of force during the transition to the Donald Trump administration.

Chinese state media reported Thursday that the simultaneous flight tests of 10 DF-21 intermediate-range ballistic missiles were carried out in China.

The missiles “can destroy U.S. Asia-Pacific bases at any time,” the dispatch from the official Xinhua news agency reported.

The flight tests were disclosed by China Central Television on Nov. 28 and coincide with President-elect Donald Trump’s high-profile announcements of new senior government officials.

Disclosure of the missile salvo launch comes as Trump announced on Thursday that he will nominate retired Marine Corps. Gen. James Mattis as his defense secretary. Mattis is one of the Corps’ most celebrated warfighting generals.


Xinhua reported that the DF-21 is comparable to the U.S. Pershing II intermediate-range missile that used a two-stage rocket and aerodynamic reentry vehicle. The Pershing II was dismantled under the U.S.-Russian INF treaty.

Rick Fisher, a China military expert, confirmed the missile tests involved the DF-21C variant of the missile.

Fisher, a senior fellow with the International Assessment and Strategy Center, also noted that the missile test came as China is conducting large-scale naval exercises.

“The PLA is banging some drums to provide background for military psychological warfare,” Fisher said.

The DF-21 is the basis for several types of missiles, including the anti-ship variant known as the DF-21D. Another version is believed to be part of China’s anti-satellite arsenal.

The DF-21C is a land-attack maneuvering missile with a range of about 1,000 miles.

It is also capable of firing a maneuvering warhead.

DF-21D , the ASBM version will be better than Pershing II as it can hit moving targets

Need ten thousands of these and ten thousands of land attack cruise missiles for saturated attacks on ALL military targets and other assets of strategic importance along the so-called first island chain.

Sorry, I forgot the DF-15s and the DF-16s. They should do the job just fine.

Thats true.... USA has 450 Minuteman III missiles and 336 Trident d5 missiles.... China has maybe 200 Nuclear Missiles..... China Must increase Nuclear Missiles stock pile.

Just noticed that user xinfengcao at Twitter uploaded a much better clip of this DF-21C flight test aired by CCTV 7 on 03 Dec.

Can anyone find this video? Firing 10 df-21 missiles at once is pretty insane
