China is expanding and upgrading three airbases in a coastal province across from Taiwan. Experts say the move could facilitate incoming military jets at a potential Taiwan Strait frontline.
Satellite imagery shows China began expanding and upgrading the airbases in early 2020 at Longtian village, Hui'an county, and Zhangzhou city, all in southeastern China’s Fujian Province, which sits across the sea from Taiwan, reported The Drive, an American tech and military site. Projects include runway and apron extensions, bunkers, hardened aircraft hangars, a new surface-to-air missile defense site, administrative buildings, and possible barracks.
