Zhou Chenming, a researcher with the Beijing-based Yuan Wang military science technology think tank, said the PLA was learning from the Russian army, especially about the use of drones. Retired PLA instructor Song Zhongping said the scenarios in the CCTV programme appeared to mirror combat conditions in Ukraine. "The Ukraine war has inspired many militaries in their modernisation efforts," Song said. "The PLA has kept a close eye [on the Ukraine war] to update training." The 82nd Army Group, formerly the 38th Army Corps, is mainly responsible for the security of Beijing.

[1/3] Drivers push auto rickshaws in a line to buy petrol from a fuel station amid Sri Lanka's economic crisis, in Colombo, Sri Lanka, July 29, 2022. India's foreign ministry did not respond to questions from Reuters on its plans and strategic aims in Sri Lanka. New Delhi has long been concerned about China's clout in its neighbourhood, including Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. "And as far as Sri Lanka is concerned, we don't want to contribute to any escalation of tension between any countries."

☆ China central banker calls for strengthening property sector policies

SHANGHAI, Dec 24 (Reuters) - A top advisor to the People's Bank of China on Saturday called for strengthening of real estate policy in light of sluggish economic growth over the past several years as China has pursued its zero-COVID policy. China has in recent weeks ramped up support for the industry to relieve a liquidity squeeze that has stifled companies in the sector, including lifting a ban on fundraising via equity offerings for listed property firms. The property sector has also got a slight boost from China's abandonment of the zero-COVID policy. But sluggish demand is still a major constraint on full recovery.

☆ A fighter pilot's promotion shows how China's navy is learning from the US as its aircraft carrier fleet grows
  + stars: | 2022-10-17 | by ( Minnie Chan | South China Morning Post | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The promotion of flying officers to command positions on China's carriers mirrors the US approach. A CCTV documentary highlights another similarity, with the Chinese navy now training its own pilots. "As a user of ship-borne weapons, I would share my [naval flight experiences] with comrades working in the equipment department and try efforts to improve our operational system, finding a better way to help China's aircraft carrier undertaking," Xu told a documentary on CCTV. The launch in June of China's third and most advanced carrier, the Fujian, has increased the demand for more outstanding carrier-based pilots like Xu. The new aircraft combat platform's electromagnetic catapults — similar to those on the USS Gerald R. Ford supercarrier — means the PLA Navy will have to master a new launch and recovery system.
☆ China is using civilian ships to enhance navy capability and reach

Aerial view of fishing boats setting sail to South China Sea for fishing on August 16, 2022 in Yangjiang, Guangdong Province of China. Hundreds of fishing boats anchored for months at a time among disputed islands in the South China Sea. The civilian vessels do more than just augment the raw numbers of ships, performing tasks that would be difficult for the military to carry out. "Because they are ostensibly civilian fishing vessels, navies' ships are unable to deal with them lest China accuse the Philippines of provoking an incident and using force against civilians," he said. In the event of a conflict, China's use of civilian vessels would complicate the rules of engagement, he said.
