PLA Justice Mission 2025 Taiwan Drills Met with Instant US-Japan Response
PLA's Justice Mission 2025 drills around Taiwan faced an immediate response from US and Japan. Analysis of the Lande report on the transparent battlefield in the Taiwan Strait.

A report from the Beijing-based defense think tank Lande highlights a sobering reality for Beijing.

The report suggests that any tactical advantage China hopes to gain through 'surprise' drills is being neutralized by advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. For the PLA, the battlefield has become increasingly transparent.
