I’m back! And going forwards…

I haven’t made any updates to this website for quite a while, but now that the academic year is over I hope to make some more consistent contributions over the next few weeks and months.

A lot has happened with the Chinese military over the last six months or more, many of which I hope to touch on, including:

• J-20’s public appearance at Zhuhai airshow, and LRIP J-20 production
• The developments and revelations of new products at Zhuhai airshow itself
• 001A carrier construction progress
• 055 large destroyer construction progress
• Catapult construction at Huangdicun NATF
• J-15A catapult compatible fighter maiden flight and recently rumoured catapult launch
• New naval ship launches and commissionings
• New missile and weapon developments
• And so much more, this is all not including geopolitical developments as well!

One problem I’ve found with my last entries is I tend to spend too long writing certain topics; but from here on forwards I will try to push out write ups in a less formal, more stream-of-consciousness manner. This might reduce the quality and formatting of some entries, but I think the nature of PLA watching suits a more flexible, standard blog style format.
