Taiwanese Legislative Speaker You Si-kun warned China on Sunday that Taiwan possesses supersonic missiles capable of reaching the Chinese capital city of Beijing.
In a speech on Taiwan Overseas Network, which was translated by Taiwan News, You warned China against invading Taiwan and offered the “strategic clarity” of letting China know that a war would also be costly for the mainland.
You, who previously served as the Premiere of Taiwan’s executive branch (a role separate from that of the Taiwanese President) from 2002 to 2005, said that when he was premiere he was made aware of Taiwan’s Yun Feng supersonic cruise missile and its ability to reach Beijing. The Taiwanese lawmaker said he was not permitted to discuss the technical capabilities of the Yun Feng missile at the time, but could now reveal that the missile has since been mass-produced.

The Chinese Communist Party will lose many on Land Sea and Air
Three Gorges Dam is closer, just sayin’...
Exactly you deter ones enemies by being strong not weak.
RE: Taiwan says its supersonic missiles can strike Beijing
Very strange... I’ve never heard of ANY NEWS reporting Taiwan testing any missiles the way they report those from China or North Korea.
That escalated quickly!
Beat me to it. Have something that can nail Three Gorges Dam and suddenly the CCP is having second thoughts.
Good for Taiwan letting the Communists know that they won’t invade Taiwan without paying a heavy price.
I’d also say it’s an even money bet that Taiwan has a few nukes.
That would not surprise me.
It shouldn’t surprise anybody in the intel community either.
No doubt the Chinese are aware of the dam and can judge circumference better than the average congresscritter. They may be crazy, but they don’t have the handicap of having been educated in the U.S.
Two dozen good missiles and a half-dozen nukes ought to give the sort of pause and gain the sort of respect that, on a domestic level, is gained by chambering a shotgun shell.
We may have ourselves a cold-war.
Not even money, odds on. Better odds that Israel has them, but the Taiwanese aren’t, for the most part, U.S. educated either.
Nice Three Gorges Dam you got there Xi, be ashame if sompting were to happen to it...
A car backfiring in Beijing will make them jump now ,LOL
Taiwan is considered part of China and China is allowed to have nukes so it is guaranteed to have nukes.
Interesting reasoning.
I know the Three Gorges Dam is a big deal to China. But to hit them where they really hurt make sure the majority of casualties are their young women. Keep in mind that China is already facing a yuuugggee shortage of women (something like 30 million more men than women).
I wonder if this is true that they have a mass produced hypersonic missile.
It’s always fun to hear everyone run off at the mouth about blowing up a dam in China and flooding everybody and now about killing all their young women nothing like that specifically is going to happen in a war.
Certainly not by us and probably not by Taiwan.

Even if you can shoot a gun out of someone’s hand in theory, usually it’s more advisable to send the first couple of bullets to centre mass, not try for a head shot, if your potential to get shots in is limited as is your ammunition.
A pair of conventional missiles to Beijing and a pair to the dam, with a half dozen to two dozen believed to be in reserve, some of which may be nuclear, should do a great deal to cause anything that has heated up to cool down even if Taiwan only bats one for four.
