PLA Helicopter S&R operations.
The PLA's lack of S&R helicopters and the experience to operate them in high tempo operations took the brunt of criticism from the Chinese leadership and the press during the 2008 Sichuan earthquake.
Two years later, their performance in the Sichuan province floor relief operation demonstrated noticeable improvement. Different helicopters and military services were placed under a unified command, communicating with the same radio frequency using SAT-COMM equipped ground-controllers to guide the S&R operations.
Take the evacuation of Dujiangyan city on August 14th where two Mi-171 helicopters from the PLAAF 4th transport division were able to rescue and evacuate 692 flood-stranded civilians and deliver 9.8 tons of relief material in 58 non-stop sorties under a 24-hour period. (here)
The PLA's vertical operations is not world class and there is room for improvement, but the recent Chinese investment in MOOTW has proven not to be just an empty PR slogan.
