China has more fighters than the United States, according to Konstantin Sivkov, director of the Moscow-based Academy of Geopolitical Problems in an interview with the English-language Sputnik News on May 27.
The release of China’s ninth defense white paper on May 26 indicates that the People’s Liberation Army has changed its traditional strategy of coastal defense. By acquiring more advanced weapons systems, the development of PLA Navy in the future will be focused on its offensive capability. Under this strategy, the mission of China’s strategic missile division known as the Second Artillery Corps has become more important, Sivkov said.
