Summary:

This CRS report contains three parts. The first part discusses ballistic missiles of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The second discusses the PRC's cruise missiles. The last section offers concluding observations. Two tables summarize the discussion on current ballistic and cruise missiles in service or under development. The appendix, prepared by Robert Shuey, discusses China's reported application of global positioning system (GPS) technology to improve the accuracy of its missiles. This report focuses on the status and current developments of China's missile programs, rather than their history.
