China Creates New Aviation Mystery With Offshore Warning Zones​

Beijing reserves airspace for 40 days, suggesting possible military activity ahead​

China has taken the unusual step of reserving swaths of offshore airspace without explanation for a period of 40 days, issuing alerts similar to those used to warn aviation authorities of Chinese military exercises, which typically last no more than a few days.

The zones reserved by China cover a total area larger than Taiwan’s main island, including offshore airspace to the north and south of Shanghai, according to information available from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. They extend from the Yellow Sea facing South Korea, south to waters of the East China Sea facing Japan.

Said to be a new expansion of facilities at Chengdu AC, using the former site of Sichuan University's Medical School at Huaxi Campus, which is located right next to Chengdu AC. The work on that site has been underway since November 2025.

Then the graduates can have a funny convo with the engineers

Graduates: I diagnose humans
Engineers: I diagnose machines. We are NOT the same

Apparently the Russians wanted PLAAF to play the role of NATO OPFOR in DACT training.

Interesting paper exercise. I get the idea that you can use J-20 to stand in for F-22 and J-35 to stand in for F-35, but in this case here the teams are really mixed up.

Ayi reckon it's trying to simulate JASDF in some way.
