China Vows Pinpoint Accuracy as Live-Fire Drills Intensify
China’s defense ministry has declared that every live round will “find its target,” underscoring a recent surge in military training. No new policy accompanied the statement, but state media show over 30 precision-focused field exercises by PLA ground forces in early 2025. This year’s defense budget rose by 7.2 percent, fueling investments in guided munitions and high-tech simulators. Drills were scored on speed and accuracy rather than ammunition volume, signaling a shift toward efficiency. Taiwan’s defense ministry recorded 42 Chinese aircraft and 14 naval vessels operating near the island in a single day this May. Analysts label the pattern “routine-plus,” while Beijing insists the drills are standard sovereign training. The new slogan highlights the PLA’s confidence in its strike capabilities.
