China to conduct 30,000-troop military drill

  BEIJING, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) will begin a military exercise on Sunday to test and improve the force's combat capability in high-tech warfare, sources from China's Central Military Commission said Saturday.

  The exercise will involve 30,000 soldiers from three divisions across three of China's seven military area commands and include military transport planes, fighter jets and attack helicopters, sources said.

  The drill, which will include infantry forces, paratroopers and air forces, will center around battle scenarios in a "complex information environment" as well as across different terrains and weather conditions, according to sources.

  The exercise will also include long-distance mobilization of ground and air forces, and test their coordination in defense and striking military targets.

  During the drill, the PLA will mobilize civilian passenger aircraft and cargo planes to transport soldiers and military equipment, sources said, adding the date to complete the drill has not yet been announced.
 
They must have someone in the PLA whos job is just to plan drills. Hardly one has ended or is on going and they have another one.
 
Yeah I was wondering where did all those increased military budget go given the pace of procurement doesn't seem to increase as fast as the budget. Guess they decided to spend more money on training and exercises.
