China targeting Taiwan with 900 missiles

China continues its planning to invade Taiwan and now has more than 900 missile targeted on the island, Taiwanese officials said last week. Despite China's impressive economic rise, it has become more authoritarian, posing a grave threat to our sovereignty and abusing human rights like never before," Taiwanese President Chen Shuibian said. Mainland Affairs Council Chairman Joseph Wu also said in Taipei that China is a threat and has supported some of the world s most notorious violators of human rights. Chinese missiles are located in five bases in nearby Fujian Province. Additionally, China now has 11 military satellites in orbit. Noting calls for China to remove the missiles, Chen said it would not be enough. If China one day removed the missiles from its east coast, they could just transport them all back the next day," he said.
