China's surging military activity around Taiwan appears to be 'using the enemy to train the troops'
Briefly

China's military operations around Taiwan have escalated significantly in early 2023, driven by a focus on realistic combat training. Research highlights that activities, including increased daily operations and patrols, have surpassed prior levels. This year’s increase follows last year's peak, with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) adapting tactics aimed at understanding enemy responses. The emphasis on realistic training equips Chinese forces to better handle potential conflicts. By engaging in close maneuvers to observe Taiwan’s military responses, China aims to enhance operational readiness for actual combat scenarios under Xi Jinping's leadership.
