Beijing's Aerospace Ambitions Raise Regional Tensions
China’s next airpower revolution will not be decided by the silhouette of a new aircraft, but by its ability to connect experimental platforms to satellites, command networks, autonomous systems, electronic warfare, secure software, mass production, and wartime logistics.

Taiwan’s military baseline has changed, with increased PLA aircraft activity in its air-defence identification zone, according to the Pentagon’s 2025 report. This development was first reported by an unknown source.
