“China is accelerating the upgrading of its air force and has many creative ideas in the development of drones, which will cause difficulties for neighbouring countries. Taiwan needs to pay attention to aerial advancements and breakthroughs achieved by the Chinese military, like those displayed at the airshow in November. This Zhuhai airshow was a big warning for Taiwan. The development of China's fighter jets, advanced drones and other unmanned systems will pose a great challenge to Taiwan's air defences. To be able to keep up with China's advancements in its air force, Taiwan will need to replace its ageing aircraft, improve ground-based air radar detection capabilities, develop new missile defences, and adopt advanced asymmetric military capabilities. But Taiwan's progress in this regard is still very slow. Which is very worrying.”
