China’s Z-10 Helicopter: The Secret Weapon to Help Conquer Taiwan?
The Z-10 and its more recent iterations are all powerful helicopters that could attack targets or land troops.
Key point: Beijing keeps upping the pressure on Taipei. If it came to war, how would China fight it?
The Chinese People’s Liberation Army is preparing for air and amphibious attacks upon the island of Taiwan and strategically crucial areas of the South China Sea, using new air-assault raid tactics and high-speed attack helicopters.

Major global powers, including Russia and China, are increasingly vying for influence, access to resources and geographically significant strategic advantage in the Arctic.
Here s What You Need to Remember: China also appears to be preparing for ice warfare in the Arctic by flying carrier-based J-15 fighter jets in free-air combat drills as temperature below -20C, a training move which indicates the country’s growing interest in exerting influence in the region.
China has newly-built Polar-capable cargo ships, liquefied natural gas tankers and nuclear-powered icebreakers to patrol and navigate in the Arctic. All of these ships are factors cited in a new U.S. Navy strategy report on growing military dynamics and tensions in the Arctic, a fast-changing region now urgently commanding attention as ice continues to melt at an alarming pace, opening up new waterways and sparking intensified competition for strategic a
