  • China's military is bolstering the management of its border defense by developing new types of equipment including a satellite early warning system that can be used to monitor the border areas in all environments, according to official media reports.

    A satellite early warning monitoring system is planned in some border areas that are in dispute or are difficult to enter and patrol.

    Here's more.

  • Surveillance

    Surveillance camera network built in border zones

  • A surveillance camera network has also been built in border zones and the density of coverage is set to increase to cover blind spots, the report said but did not mention which, or if all, of China's border regions, are covered.

    The Line of Actual Control (LAC) between India and China covers 3,488km, including Arunachal Pradesh, claimed by China as part of southern Tibet.

  • Information

    Mechanization of new equipment will give early warning of risks

  • The informatization and mechanization of equipment, vehicles, and monitoring methods of People's Liberation Army border defense will give an early warning of any risks to security as well as overcome previous blind spots, Song Zhongping, a military expert was quoted as saying by Global Times.

  • Automation level

    PLA to increase the level of automation of its equipment

  • The PLA has to increase the level of automation of its equipment by using drones and tracking vehicles to conduct patrols and setting up unmanned monitoring systems, which means border regions will come under continuous monitoring, Song noted.

    To cater to various geographic environments along China's long borders, the PLA has developed equipment that can be used in air, water or land, Song said.

  • The new system

    Deployed new patrol boat in Pangong Lake

  • Global Times' report about the new system, mentioned Ladakh's Pangong Lake where skirmishes took place between Indian and Chinese troops last year after border guards foiled an attempt by Chinese soldiers to enter Indian territory.

    PLA has deployed a new patrol boat there which is made of non-metallic materials and has a top speed of 40 km per hour and can resist ice collisions.

  • Border defense

    Heavy scout vehicle deployed in Southwest China's Yunnan Province

  • A type of heavy scout vehicle called the "wild ox," capable of accommodating 17 full-armed soldiers, has been deployed to a border defense regiment in Southwest China's Yunnan Province, which shares a border with three countries.

    Besides a BeiDou satellite navigation system, akin to that of US Global Position System (GPS), the vehicle also has a real-time communication system installed.

  • Patrolling

    Scout vehicle can also conduct patrols in tropical environments

  • The scout vehicle also has water filters, a kitchen, and a toilet so it can conduct patrols in tropical environments.

    The report also implied that in the jungles of Yunnan, the sparsely populated deserts of Xinjiang and the high plateaus in Tibet, PLA troops began using drones to patrol more areas than 10 years ago, which has resulted in a 25-fold increase in efficiency.

  • Equipment

    Border defense troops tested over 20 types of new equipment

  • Border defense troops in Koktokay, in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, have recently tested more than 20 types of new equipment.

    Koktokay in northern Xinjiang and bordering Mongolia has an average temperature of -20-degree Celsius in winter.

    A new type of hot water bottle that can keep water hot for 24 hours has been issued to soldiers in Koktokay.

  • Information

    Troops tested equipment like cold-proof blankets, tents among others

  • The troops garrisoned at Koktokay have also tested other new equipment such as cold-proof blankets, tents, and snow camouflage suits. "Logistics support is the main guarantee to generate combat capability. These changes all benefit from China's increasing military technology ability and innovation," Song noted.

  • Border security

    China has also ramped up security along the Xinjiang border

  • Previous reports said guard rails have been set up along the border to prevent terrorists sneaking into China through Xinjiang's Kashgar, a prefecture that shares a border with Afghanistan, Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Kyrgyzstan.

    China has ramped up security along the Xinjiang border to prevent the crossings of militants of the East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) active in the province.
