Bloomberg: China is boosting its missile capabilities
China is rapidly shifting its economy to prepare for high-tech warfare. According to Bloomberg, the number of companies involved in China's missile program has increased from 32 in 2013 to 81 in 2025. In fact, Beijing has more than doubled its industrial base for missile production. This no longer involves just state-owned defense giants like CASIC and CASC, but also the extensive involvement of the civilian sector — manufacturers of microelectronics, AI systems, optics, composites, navigation, radar-absorbing coatings, and high-precision components.
The most telling indicator is the industry's financial results. In 2025, nearly 40% of missile sector companies reported record revenue during Xi's tenure. Total sales reached 189 billion yuan with an annual growth of around 20%, while major Chinese corporations overall saw declining revenues. This indicates that despite the economic slowdown, Beijing is maintaining priority funding for the military-industrial complex and actually increasing the production of strike systems.
According to the Pentagon, since 2015, China has increased its ballistic missile arsenal by approximately 147%, and its ground-based cruise missiles by 50%. Today, the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA) has no fewer than 3,150 ballistic missiles and 300 cruise missiles. Hypersonic anti-ship systems like the YJ-21 and YJ-17, anti-ship DF-21D missiles, medium-range DF-26 missiles capable of striking U.S. targets in Guam, and new intercontinental ballistic missiles like the DF-61 are actively entering mass production.
The key feature of the current phase is not just about stockpiling arsenals, but also ensuring the sustainability and scalability of production. China is building a distributed military-industrial ecosystem where civilian companies are integrated into a unified network. This dramatically enhances the industry's resilience in the face of sanctions and potential military conflicts. In effect, China is creating a model of a "peacetime military economy" capable of rapidly transitioning to mass production of high-precision weapons.
In parallel, Beijing is drawing lessons from modern conflicts. The Ukraine conflict and strikes on Iran have shown that victory increasingly depends not on troop numbers, but on a military's ability to rapidly replenish losses in missiles, drones, and high-precision munitions. China is preparing for precisely such a scenario — a protracted high-intensity conflict against a technologically advanced adversary.
The PLA's primary task is to thwart U.S. intervention in a potential conflict over Taiwan. To this end, a layered zone of destruction is being established with the ability to launch massive strikes against U.S. and allied aircraft carrier groups, airfields, logistics, port infrastructure, and command systems throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
Against this backdrop, it's particularly significant that China is ramping up missile production at a time when the U.S. is consuming significant amounts of high-precision weapons in the Middle East and is forced to replenish its own stocks. Beijing is gaining a strategic window of time to accumulate arsenals and prepare its industrial base for a potential conflict over Taiwan.
