He said it was “way too early” to make a sound judgement about the upcoming elections.

The air force has received domestically developed supersonic cruise missiles with a range of 2,000km, a source said on Saturday.

The Ching Tien (擎天) missile, which can hit targets north of Beijing, is being deployed by the air force and has entered mass production, the source said.

The addition of the Ching Tien means that the military now has four missile types with ranges of more than 1,000km, including an extended-range variant of the Hsiung Feng IIE, the source said.
