A version of Dong Feng 21D was put up on show last year in a Chinese military parade. It is said that the Dong Feng 21D could transfigure China's role in the balance of power in the Pacific region. The Dong Feng 21D could acutely weaken Washington's capability to interfere in any possible clash over Taiwan or North Korea. The Dong Feng 21D could also refute U.S. ships safe admission to international waters near China's 11,200-mile long shoreline.

It has been reported that China is developing a weapon what analysts say is a game-changing weapon. Dong Fend 21D is an unparalleled carrier-blowing missile that could be launched from land with adequate precision to break through the defenses of even the most sophisticated moving aircraft carrier. It has been said by experts that Dong Feng 21D can hit its target with precision and accuracy at a distance of more than 1,500 kilometers (900 miles).

With the complete development of Dong Feng 21D China would be challenging and putting an end to the global air and sea power more vividly, let alone the invincible carrier fleet dominance of the high seas by the US.

Experts have said that China would conduct the final test of Dong Feng 21D by the end of this year. Some analysts hold the opinion that they wonder how swift China will be able to perfect its precision to the point desirable to bully a moving carrier at sea. These analysts believe that Dong Feng 21D may not come quick with ideal precision and accuracy to target a moving carrier.
