“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.”
