The New Media Journal | China to Unveil New Intercontinental Nuclear and Cruise Missiles

The New Media Journal | China to Unveil New Intercontinental Nuclear and Cruise Missiles: "China will unveil a range of previously unknown missiles during its National Day parade Oct. 1, including intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles, state media said Sept. 2.

New hardware on display also will include conventional cruise missiles, and both short- and medium-range missiles, the Global Times newspaper reported, citing an unnamed People's Liberation Army source.

'These missiles are domestically designed and manufactured and have never been officially reported before,' the source, who is with the PLA's strategic missile defense unit, was quoted as saying.

The weapons have already been distributed to the military and are ready for operation, the source said.

China's missile development program has caused concern overseas, particularly in the United States, amid projections that it could soon tip the security balance in the Taiwan Strait."
