China’s military reveals future air warfare plans

Bill Gertz

An internal Chinese military report has revealed that the People’s Liberation Army is placing a heavy emphasis on waging advanced air war using stealth, drones and high-technology weapons.

The report, “How Will the Form of Air Warfare Change in the Future?” was published in September in the Liberation Army News, the mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Military Commission.

It was translated by the U.S. Air Force think tank China Aerospace Studies Institute, which described the report as having “the imprimatur of orthodoxy.”

The Chinese report was written by Chai Shan, a military author who has previously written about PLA air power control.

“The future form of air warfare is ultimately and inevitably intelligentized aerial combat,” the report stated.
