According to a military research paper's "unintentionally" leak, China is now developing a new type of anti-ship missile.
The missile combine crusie missile with ballastic ones: Can cruise at near-space with a speed comparable to ICBM but a trajectory much lower and far more flexiable.
China name the new anti-ship missile as reentry-cruise missile, emphasis its re-entrying characters, the missile will have a range over 12,000 km and can hit a DDG-size ship accruately within 30 mins.
Due to the very high speed and large payload to accommodate sophasticate radar and seekers, the missile may only need 1 or 2 middle-course position update from high orbit satellites within the 30 mins journey to the hell.
So it is very robust under highly contested enviorment (now even the most advanced anti-satellite weapon cannot shot down a high orbit satellite within 30 mins, and actually the only anti-satellite weapon that can shot satelliates sitting at high orbit is also owned by China).
Threads dicuss this missile (including the snapshot of the original paper):
