From what I can gather, the individual in question has (at least in the recent past) been a professor at the PLA's National Defence University. I have been unable to discover what her area of expertise is.
She has seems to have appeared on Chinese TV a number of times to comment on matters of Chinese military technology. In those appearances, she has also been asked to comment on hypothetical military systems and scenarios ( example), although such comments which would probably not be acceptable for Wikipedia. In the case of the source used in this edit, it does not seem she was answering a hypothetical question.
As the individual source is not a complete no-name and, at least on the surface seems to have some credentials behind her, I have leaned toward inclusion in the prose. On the other hand, given the necessary skepticism that should be attached to specific technical claims coming out of Chinese state media, I have elected not to alter the infobox.
I welcome the thoughts and willingly defer to those who have a deeper and more nuanced understanding of Wikipedia's policies and requirements. - RovingPersonalityConstruct ( talk, contribs) 18:58, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
The Popular Science article WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE BLOWN UP BY A CHINESE MISSILE? ASK THIS SHIP by Jeffrey Lin and P.W. Singer (17 October 2014) is a poor source compared to what is available. From what I can find, Lin lacks credentials, Singer is somewhat better but seems to write in general about military technology. One wonders where they are getting their numbers from.
The same numbers are actually given by Li Li, but for reasons stated above it is perhaps best not to put them in the infobox. - RovingPersonalityConstruct ( talk, contribs) 11:39, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
The only reputable (?) source I could find that claims the CM-400AKG is related to the YJ-12 is the 2013 StrategyPage article. The same article also claims that the CM-400KG masses 2 tons, although apparently the official mass is a bit less than 1 ton. As no newer (that I could find) seem to repeat either of these claims, I am dubious whether the CM-400KG should be in the YJ-12 article at all. Thoughts? - RovingPersonalityConstruct ( talk, contribs) 15:34, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
