Zhuhai Airshow returns for 15th time

The Chinese military and its arms contractors plan to display many of their latest hardware at the upcoming 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, the largest arms show in the nation.

Addressing a news conference about the biennial exhibition in Beijing on Wednesday, Lieutenant General Yu Qingjiang, a deputy commander of the People's Liberation Army Air Force, said that the Air Force will bring an unprecedented amount of aircraft, missiles, radar and other equipment to the event, which is scheduled to take place from Nov 12 to 17 in Guangdong province's coastal city of Zhuhai.

Popularly known as the Zhuhai Airshow, the China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition is one of the largest defense exhibitions in the world and the only regular occasion for members of the public to closely observe Chinese weapons, especially those designed for export purposes.
