According to reports from Taiwanese media on the 29th, Taiwan's so-called "Mainland Military Power Report" for this year has been delivered to the Legislative Yuan. The report analyzes the four types of transformations in the PLA from training to war, and focuses on the PLA's first aircraft carrier, the Fujian ship, which has completed its 8th sea trial. Experts believe that the development of the PLA's aircraft carrier is highly deterrent to the "Taiwan independence" forces, causing them great anxiety. According to reports from Taiwan's "Central News Agency" and other media on the 29th, this year's mainland military power report is divided into 7 chapters, totaling 34 pages, primarily covering mainland military training and combat assessment, as well as PLA's targeted activities around the Taiwan Strait. Taiwanese media noted that the military power report specifically mentioned that the Fujian ship had completed its 8th sea trial, conducting tests on power, motors, electronic warfare, combat systems, as well as the development and testing of J-35, J-15T, and new early warning aircraft. In the future, it will work together with the Liaoning and Shandong aircraft carriers to enhance their long-range operational capabilities. Taiwan's "Central News Agency" cited the content of the report, stating that the PLA has frequently sent ships and aircraft to conduct combat patrols and drone intrusions in the surrounding seas and skies in recent years, continuously exerting military pressure on Taiwan, and demonstrating its combat capabilities through targeted military exercises against Taiwan.
