- On Monday (Oct. 30), RW News cited sources familiar with the matter as saying the Navy has already completed a base in New Taipei City's Sanzhi District that can withstand HEMP attacks. […]
If China was to launch a HEMP attack, the base in Sanzhi would probably still be able to command the launch of Hsiung Feng II and Hsiung Feng III anti-ship missile launchers in northern coastal areas, as well as shore-based Harpoon anti-ship missiles. The firing of such missiles would prevent PLA Navy (PLAN) ships from entering the northern and northeastern waters of the Taiwan Strait.
When asked to confirm that a new base has been built in Sanzhi District to withstand a HEMP attack, Minister of National Defense Chiu Kuo-cheng (邱國正) on Monday (Oct. 30) said the work was part of an ongoing project, reported Liberty Times.
