The press release said that the training is in line with relevant international laws and is not targeted at any specific country, in response to reports saying that Chinese navy ships previously passed through waters between Japan's islands of Okinawa and Miyako.

"This will be a regular drill according to the annual plan (of the PLA)," said the press release.

Whaa..is that tape ruler they were using? Should just have display scale.
 
New map for night reading has been developed for the PLA use.

It emits no harmful radiation and is undetectable by night-vision gears.
It can store energy by absorbing heat and visible light and is waterproof, stores easily and can be mass produced.

In the past the PLA would need to use small flashlights that would risk exposing their positions.

General 徐光裕 revealing some tid bits:


-PLA is certain to reduce to 1.5 million by 2020, with ratio of Army (inc. 2nd Art.): Navy : Airforce as 5:3:2.
They would all be modernised force.

(me thinks by 2020 China would have enough budget to maintain a 1.5 million completely modernised force, but they will have large reserves and older weapons ready if necessary )

-ASBM is not rumoured but actual fact

-Chinese leaderships are not as soft as their public impression.

-First carrier has started construction (i think he meant indigenous not varyag because he used the word built)

-It would be conventional powered and use ski jump, to the disappointment of some fans.

-Ray based and mid course anti-ballistic missile weapons in advanced stage of development

Others:

(American Army commanders have to abide by weight limits. Overweight commanders are given 3 months to reduce below threshhold, if unsuccessful they would be retired)

Took part in meeting with Kim to get him to come back to 6-party talks, the two got into a heated argument.
