China developing new attack helicopter with stealth abilities
Sep 11, 2015: China has begun developing a new generation of attack helicopter which will have stealth abilities and should start deliveries to its armed forces by about 2020, the official China Daily newspaper said on Friday.

The helicopter is being developed by Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC), one of the country's leading arms manufacturers, the state-run English-language publication said.

Its stealth capabilities will "reshape the combat patterns" of the People's Liberation Army, company chairman Lin Zuoming was quoted as saying. "It is a trend that the ground force will become increasingly dependent on helicopters because they have better strike capability and mobility than armoured vehicles, and transport supplies to frontier troops," Lin said.

The company's chief helicopter designer, Wu Ximing, said the aircraft would have "supreme manoeuvrability in complicated environments, outstanding survivability and joint operation ability", the report added. It provided no other details.

President Xi Jinping has pushed to toughen and modernise the country's 2.3 million-strong armed forces as China takes a more assertive stance in the region, particularly in the South China and East China seas. That has included developing a series of high-tech weapons, including stealth jets, aircraft carriers and emerging technology aimed at shooting down satellites.

China Creates 3 New Army Units to Improve Fighting Capacity
Jan 02, 2016 -- China has created three new army units as part of its reforms to modernize its military and improve its fighting capacity.

State television showed Saturday President Xi Jinping giving military flags to the leaders of the three new units -- a general command for the People's Liberation Army, a missile force and a strategic support force. Xi and PLA officers and soldiers sang the national anthem at the inauguration ceremony Thursday. Xi said the three new units had been created as part of a modernization reform and "to realize the Chinese dream of a strong military."

China's military is currently 2.3 million strong but there are plans to cut it by 300,000. Xi has promulgated the idea of a "Chinese dream" involving "the great renewal of the Chinese nation" and sees a strong military as key to this.

The military reform comes as China has become more assertive in pressing its claims to territory in the East China Sea and South China Sea, increasing tensions with its neighbors. Other reform plans include phasing out old equipment, developing new weapons systems and reducing troop numbers.
