The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is now using purported military drills in the South China Sea to cover up its search for the wreckage for a Chinese military plane that crashed in early March, Taiwan’s intelligence agency said on March 10.
The aircraft is reported to have been a Shaanxi Y-8, which is a medium transport aircraft, but commonly outfitted by the Chinese military to serve as a reconnaissance or electronic warfare element. The plane that crashed may have been outfitted for anti-submarine duty.
