Beijing could send in GJ-21s – which have long endurance and high manoeuvrability – to counter uncrewed combat boats, military magazine says.

A Chinese military magazine has suggested that if Taiwan sends a swarm of uncrewed combat boats across the strait – a strategy inspired by Ukraine – Beijing could counter with its GJ-21 stealth attack drones. According to a commentary in Defence Review, the GJ-21 has long endurance and high manoeuvrability, which would give it a critical advantage against a “game changing” swarm attack by unmanned surface vessels.

      China has no intention of attacking Taiwan unless the US tries to create a Cuban Missile Crisis on the island.

      It’s funny that you say they are not innovative when China is making new scientific breakthroughs on a near daily basis, in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, and every other field. Their high tier cities make the US look like a poor country.

          “Crappy attitude” from the person literally making shit up. China’s policy has always been the desire for peaceful reunification with Taiwan through diplomatic and economic relations. They have only escalated militarily when Taiwan, goaded by the US, has done so first. And only in the interest of self-defense. Their official policy is to wait as long as it takes for that peaceful resolution, believing that events like the breakdown of international relationships with the United States will encourage Taiwan to return to the fold. They have said they will only attack if absolutely necessary in the event that the United States forces them to by turning Taiwan into a close range missile platform. Which has always been the intention of the US since they stopped the PRC from finishing off the fascist KMT that fled to Taiwan and slaughtered the native people in the first place.
