Don't know how this was missed. This is pretty old, but quite revealing if accurate. The following were taken at a military presentation in Liaoning, in which it was confirmed that the JL-2B (possibly another name for the rumored JL-2A) and the DF-41 had ranges of 12000 km and 14000 km, respectively.

The stated first launch date of the DF-41 also corroborates with Freebeacon

Why is that this article´s title refers "manchu" ? china is not manchuria. In fact, manchuria doesnt even exists anymore...

The author clearly used the term "Manchu" as a geographic expression, and it gets idea across his audience (Americans) better than "East-North" or Heilongzhang. No conspiracy here.

But this was a chinese missile launch. Not a "East-North" or "heilongjiang" missile launch.

Of course it's a Chinese missile launch, and the article made that point perfectly clear in the text of the article that Manchu is just a geographic expression for location of the launch. I'd agree there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about excessive 'China Boogeyman' propaganda Bill Gertz and his neocon cohorts peddle, but this isn't one of them.

Name matters. Calling Taiwan Formosa is obviously agenda driven. Calling North-east China Manchuria brings up bad memories
