China’s Rocket Force arsenal is regarded as the crown jewel of the People’s Liberation Army. In recent years, the secretive Chinese military unit has test-launched more ballistic missiles than the rest of the world combined. All American bases in the Asia-Pacific, including Guam, are within range of precision missiles from the Chinese mainland.
WSJ looks at how China’s Rocket Force is preparing for a possible invasion of Taiwan and deterring the U.S. from intervening.

Thanks to the Loral corporation (now defunct) during the Clinton administration provided space technology in the 1990s(NY Times report). Before that China was facing serious problem with its rockets.
China have the right to defend itself
Excellent defense (true defense) strategy.
Good thing they use water as propellant and not jet fuel !!! lol
They need to be prepared because of the negative propaganda diffused by the collective west who pretends to "know" the intentions of Russia. If it were true the war should have ended already.
base so secretive western nations know about it.
2:18 it's "nuclear", not "nuceelar"
😂 it's ridiculous that WSJ still believe that
why is it a problem for the US? and not a problem for China to be surrounded by US military bases?
Only the west is allowed to have these weapons
All fueled with water!
All media is preparing for war
They need it the US is surrounding them, they probably need way more so they can at least threaten the US mainland. With how warmongering America is they better build more or else they r in big trouble
Everyone country has the right of self defense.
Jealous Jealous Jealous . China has 100 years of traumas and take 30 years to become worlds largest economy and left 800 millions people out of poverty . Please don't be Jealous
🇺🇸😭 who be crying?
WSJ is fully converting from a fake news agency to a Q&On alike conspiracy theories factory
WSJ is fabricating another joke as this fake “news” cesspool always does…
Well, I’m pretty sure I’d do the same if there’s other countries trying to interfere with whatever I’m doing.
Why is it an issue for China to set up a defence strategy? You have military base surrounding their country, are they not allowed to defend themselves?
Please explain how America is going to support the Ukraine, Israel, fight a war with the Houthis and defend Taiwan with a $33 trillion, and growing, national debt? How would we finance a war with China, Russia and North Korea at the same time? It seems absurd!
忽悠局继续灌水吧😂
Are these the same rockets that were recently discovered to have water in them and had the launch doors welded shut?
From being experts at making bottle rockets to today🤔
Impressive firepower, China! Stay peaceful though 🕊️
I wonder who has the largest?
hmmmmmm
But they have problems with fuel and problematic hatches.
CCP is not that deadly as you like to show.
