China plans to deploy by year's end the first of 60 Dong Feng 31-series in-

tercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), which will be the first Chinese

nuclear-tipped weapons that can target all of Europe or the entire

continental United States. This new capability raises a question among

China-watchers: Will Beijing change its stated JEREMIAH 50:25
policy to use nuclear weapons only in retalia-
tion for an atomic strike? …..weapons of his
indignation….
Due to begin deployment this year is the

standard Dong Feng-31, or CSS-9, whose limited range of 4,500 miles al-

lows it to reach Alaska or Hawaii. But the more advanced and road-

mobile Dong Feng-31A, due to begin deployment in 2007, will have a

range of 7,000 miles, making it the first Chinese ICBM that could hit Wash-

ington, D.C., Paris or Madrid.

The DF-31

The newest genera-
tion of Chinese
strategic missile,
including the Dong
Feng-31, will narrow
the gap between cur-
rent Chinese, US
and Russian ballis-
tic missile designs.
This system is a sol-
id-fueled, three-
stage mobile mis-
sile with a range of
8000 km carrying a 700 kg, one-megaton warhead. The DF-31 and
JL-2 are land-based and sea-based variants of the same missile.
