Newsweek: China Military Practices Winning a War By Sending Warplanes Near Japan
China conducted what it called a "routine" combat flight test Thursday to prepare its air force for a potential upcoming military conflict. Chinese military spokesperson Shen Jinke said the People's Liberation Army (PLA) sent a team of Xian H-6K bombers over the Bashi Channel, which separates China from its rival government in Taiwan, and the Miyako Strait, which lies between the Japanese islands of Miyako and Okinawa in the East China Sea, according the official Xinhua News Agency and Communist Party newspaper The Global Times.
"Shen said that after the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the PLA air force began training with the aim of honing their ability to win a potential war, which shows that those in the military are committed to their obligations in the new era," The Global Times reported.
