PLA to train pilots faster with new programs amid warplane production capacity boost

The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force and Naval Aviation Force have recently made new progress in their new pilot recruitment and training programs at a time when China is expanding its warplane fleet with record-breaking warplane production capability, with analysts saying on Sunday that the PLA will make sure to have enough qualified personnel to fly its cutting-edge machines.

In 2020, the Shijiazhuang Flight Academy for the first time received delivery of J-10 fighter jets and started testing with this new training program. While it takes four to six years of flight training for a pilot cadet to become qualified to fly a fourth generation fighter jet under the old training program, the new program takes only three years, greatly shortening the time needed to train a cadet to become a combat-ready pilot, CCTV reported.

No numbers but it says “record breaking warplane” production capabilities. Who knows how much but it looks like mass production is underway. Qualification training for 4th gen fighter jets under a new program is shorten to 3 years from the old program of 4-6 years.

…)time to ‘test Biden’s commitment’ made to China

Some Chinese experts said that if the Biden administration is determined to oppose it, the trip can't be made as such high-level visit needs the coordination with the administration in terms of security.

"Perhaps, the White House is not truly opposed to such a visit, but they don't want Pelosi to interrupt the Biden administration's agenda on the Taiwan question," Diao Daming, an associate professor at the Renmin University of China in Beijing, told the Global Times on Sunday.

"It's a bluff to use the excuse of separation of powers," Lü said, noting that a House Speaker would not be able to make a foreign visit without the coordination of the executive branch due to security issues.

"If the Biden administration firmly opposes it, the trip won't be made," he said.

Looks like China doesn’t believe their “separation of power” excuse over Taiwan either. I don’t either. Especially, Biden using the military as an excuse when he could have put his own opinion out as well.

Everything points to Biden supporting the trip.

Maybe Biden has forgotten because he has dementia, but the rest of the world has certainly not forgotten Biden "misspeaking" so many times about defending Taiwan

The case caught public attention on Thursday after a netizen took to social media platforms and said memorial tablets of at least four notorious Japanese war criminals who were involved in the Nanjing Massacre during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), including key perpetrators Matsui Iwane and Hisao Tani, were enshrined at the Xuanzang Temple in Jiuhua Mountain Park.

How in God's name could this happen in a temple in Nanjing of all places?

Amid public outrage, the Nanjing authorities had taken quick reactions. On Friday, local authorities announced that the abbot of the temple had been dismissed and the temple was required to stop daily operation. At least three officials from the religious departments were punished including the Xuanwu district ethnic and religious bureau chief in Nanjing.

These guys will need to be thoroughly investigated. If found guilty, they should receive nothing less than prison sentences, and some lengthy time in the reeducation camp.
