According to lawmaker Lin Yu fang, Taiwan plans to deploy its own cruise missiles by the end of this year. Lin said Taiwan started producing the new missiles after acquiring key components needed for assembly. The new missiles have a range of 800 kilometers, capable of reaching Shanghai, Hong Kong and coastal cities in between. In 2008, Taiwan ordered production of 300 missiles as a partial counter to 1,300 ballistic missiles China placed opposite Taiwan\'s coastline. Neither country has a proven, reliable defense against each other\'s missiles. The Chinese ballistic missiles can saturate Taiwan\'s limited air defense capability, while Taiwan\'s cruise missiles can penetrate China\'s air defense systems.
