China is building missiles at an unprecedented rate – the ultimate target is not Taiwan, it's an island 3,000 km away (xataka.com)

• China's missile production is driving record profits in civilian-turned-military companies across sensors, optics, and 3D printing.
• Strategic focus on Guam with DF-26 'Guam Express' to deter US intervention in Asia-Pacific.
• Civil-military fusion makes China's industrial base highly resistant to Western sanctions.

"China's missile production is accelerating to a degree that is transforming entire sectors of its economy, according to Reuters. Dozens of companies that once made civilian thermal cameras, fiber optics, and electronics are now posting record profits from military contracts. The strategic objective extends beyond Taiwan; China aims to threaten Guam (3,000 km away), a key US military hub, with missiles like the DF-26 'Guam Express' to limit US intervention capability. This industrial base is highly resilient to sanctions due to deep civil-military integration."
