“China has rockets that can go 100 miles?”

Is that a serious question, or a joke?

My belief is that Harpoons will keep the Chinese cruisers and destroyers at least 100 miles off shore or they risk being sunk. My understanding is that naval artillery is effective out to 22 miles and that rockets only go out to about 30 miles.

You stated that China would shoot rockets, which is why I asked if China had rockets that would go 100 miles.

IMHO, Harpoons (or equivalent Anti-ship missiles) are key to defeating or preventing an amphibious landing.
