Defence Review

Defence Review is a Chinese military magazine that publishes analyses on defense strategies and military technologies. It is newsworthy due to its insights into potential Chinese military thinking and planning. Recent articles have focused on China's potential responses to perceived threats from Taiwan, the US, and its allies. Specifically, the magazine has explored the use of GJ-21 stealth attack drones to counter a potential swarm attack by Taiwanese uncrewed combat boats, drawing parallels to strategies employed in the Ukraine conflict. Additionally, Defence Review has advocated for China to develop an air-based missile interceptor system, citing escalating missile threats from various regions and suggesting targeting the boost stage of ballistic missiles. The magazine's analysis provides valuable, albeit potentially biased, perspectives on China's military modernization and strategic considerations in a complex geopolitical landscape.
