China will reveal multiple new types of combat aircraft at the upcoming 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, also known as Airshow China, a senior Chinese military commander said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Yu Qingjiang, deputy commander of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force, said a series of highly-anticipated fighters will make their debut at the upcoming Airshow China event, where they will demonstrate their capabilities in long-range strategic projections and aerial strikes.
"We will present the equipment that everyone has been eager to see and those can be shown during the airshow, as we are willing to share the results of the development of the Chinese Air Force with all sectors of society," said Yu.
The 15th Airshow China is scheduled to be held in Zhuhai of south China's Guangdong Province from November 12 to 17. Since its inception in 1996, the biennial show has become an important window for showcasing advanced aviation and aerospace technologies and equipment from home and abroad. It has also become an international platform for promoting business cooperation in aviation and aerospace technologies and equipment.

Football fever is set to return in eastern China's Jiangsu Province this weekend as the Jiangsu Football City League, or "Suchao", kicks off its new season.
Changzhou will face Nantong in Saturday's opener, launching a 78‑match regular season that will run from April 11 to September 19, with all games set for Saturday evenings across 13 cities.
Suzhou head coach Chan Yuen Ting said the squad is combining intensive daily training with technology to sharpen performance.
"The players are having intensive trainings every day. To ensure the improvement of their athletic performance, we are also using high-tech tools and data analysis to assist the training," said Chan.
Chan explained that each Suzhou player now trains in a vest fitted with a monitoring system that tracks running distance and sprint speed in real time, giving coaches a sharper picture of fitness levels. The squad list for this season includes 50 names, more than 30 of them under 22, a youth wave balanced by a handful of seasoned veterans
For 34‑year‑old defender Chen Wei, one of Suzhou's most experienced players since the inaugural 2025 season, building on‑field chemistry with younger teammates has become the focus of his training.
"My training partners are defenders, mainly from the U22 group. During regular matches and trainings, I would share some detailed experience with them. We are now becoming more and more coordinated," Chen said.
Officials said this year's Suchao season has drawn more younger players than 2025, with rising numbers of U22 players filling provincial rosters.
"The registration across the province was basically at full capacity. The final valid number of registered participants reached 647, with an average player age of 22.32 years, a decrease of 1.77 years compared to 2025," said Liu Tong, deputy director of Jiangsu Provincial Sports Bureau.
Suchao became a national sensation in 2025 with its mix of local pride and derby drama. Stadium crowds topped 2.43 million for the season, averaging more than 28,000 per game, while online viewership soared past 2.2 billion streams.
