An IISS report detailing long-range strike capabilities, including China, this time also included the DF-27:
They estimate the range of the DF-27 to be between 5,000 km and 8,000 km. Also, the range of the CJ-100 seems low, up to 2000 km, I thought the range was estimated at 5000 km.

The PLARF is also upgrading its arsenal by introducing new types of equipment, though little is currently known about them. The Pentagon’s 2023 report claims that the DF-27 (CH-SS-X-24) IRBM/HGV is under development; however, Pentagon documents leaked in early 2023 indicated that limited numbers may already have been fielded. The leaked documents also assessed that the DF-27 has land-attack and anti-ship variants, offering the prospect of a PLARF capability to target high-value units of the US Navy further away than the previously conceptualised battlespace west of Guam.
