Chinese naval moves worry Taiwan
Here is the transcript of an interview by Yomiuri Shimbun with Taiwan's vice defense minister, Ko Chen-heng, which mentions the Hsiung Feng 2E missile and China's acquisition of aircraft carriers.

Could you tell us about a deployment plan for Hsiung-Feng [Brave Wind] 2-E missiles?

I won't deny there's a development plan, but can't say whether it has been completed. It's "under development," I should say. The range cannot be publicized, but they aren't intended to strike civilian targets such as in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
