PLA Strategy in a Taiwan Contingency

I imagine this has been discussed already. Does anyone have any sources (or links to previous discussions here) on PLA's plans with regards to striking runways during SEAD?

I know some might just say to use MRL or SRBM, but I imagine there are most effective methods.

联合利剑 2024B?

Interesting video from the Eastern Theater Command, showing training footage from all branches. Not sure if its new or recycled footage.
The title - 枕戈待旦 (prepared and ready for battle/resting one's head on a spear waiting for dawn) used the Taiwan island to complete the inner stroke for 旦 (dawn, daybreak) . Quite the artistic touch.
Trailer for Joint Sword 2024B? Maybe 枕戈待旦 replaces the name for 联合利剑 2024b? (uninformed speculation on my part)

Good prediction for you guys

Here's a picture of the previous exercises for comparison.

Seems like the northeast corridor has been relatively quiet this year

Maybe Taiwan's leaders have been talking too much lately？

"Our assessment is that no matter what Lai says on October 10, they might put a name on existing exercises and call it Joint Sword - 2024B. That's a possibility"


I tend to agree with this assessment. Or rather, the exercise was already prepared, and the go ahead was finalized after Lai's speech
