300km sounds well within a carrier’s operating range. even within picket range. I wonder if the boats that launch them are speed boats.

Once a missile has been proved a success, it is relatively easy for designers and engineers to extend its range or to develop a new model based on it and with longer reach from the outset. In addition, if Japan goes nuclear, Taiwan could follow in short order. If so, having a nuclear capable, supersonic indigenous missile already on hand would greatly enhance Taiwan's security against both Japan's notional menace and against the more substantial threat of bullying or even invasion by Taiwan's cousins on the Chinese mainland.
