China’s missile surge puts every US base in the Pacific at risk — and the window to respond is closing
Fox News
China has built the world's largest theater-range missile force to keep United States forces out of a Taiwan conflict, prompting rapid U.S. weapons expansion.
"The People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force … has built an increasing number of short-, medium-, and long-range missiles," Seth Jones of the Center for Strategic and International Studies told Fox News Digital. "They have the capability to shoot those across the first and increasingly the second island chains."
For years, Chinese officials assumed they could not match the United States in air superiority. The Rocket Force became the workaround: massed, land-based firepower meant to shut down U.S. bases and keep American aircraft and ships outside the fight.
