A Chinese military expert has refuted recent reports that the People’s Liberation Army has established a new aerospace branch focused on military operations in space, reports Duowei News, a US-based Chinese political news website.
Last month, prominent Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun said that the new “Aerospace Force” will be the fifth service branch under the PLA along with its Ground Force, Navy, Air Force and Second Artillery Corps, adding that it will also lead to the creation of an Aerospace Office under the Central Military Commission. Notably, the original article has since been deleted, while the Pentagon refused to comment on the report.
