A Study on the Impact of the Chinese Air Force Modernization to the Taiwan Strait Security / 中共空軍現代化對台海安全影響之研究

碩士 / 銘傳大學 / 社會科學院國家發展與兩岸關係碩士在職專班 / 98 / Since 1949, PRC ( the People’s Republic of China) air force has evaluated its position from "support the army operations" to "many types of joint military operations," and its strategy has changed from the "homeland defense" to "both offensive and defensive." It has progressed from the "reliance on imports of the Soviet Union " to " self-study aerospace weapon and the new generation aircraft " on weapons. Above all, you can see the PRC air force is not only present in this air race but also is active to catch up with others.
Retrospect to the past, the PRC has never given up the declaration of force against Taiwan, and its military action to us is only separated by a strait. Therefore, it has always been the greatest threat to Taiwan''s security. Before the PRC opened up the reform, Taiwan''s security was ensured because of the maintenance of air superiority over the situation. Today, however, the economic rise of the PRC has driven the development of national defense force. Their martial strength is quite different now. Particularly in the twenty-first century, the PRC gradually built a new generation of air force. Many military experts believe that the crisis of military balance over the Taiwan Strait has been produced and have raised a warning. Obviously, Taiwan''s air superiority over the situation has indeed faced a severe test and Taiwan''s security is also facing unprecedented challenges. Based on this, the author analyzes the changes in the strategic thinking of PRC air force, the current weapon situation, and the impact of international and regional situation, etc. from viewpoint of " the PRC air force modernization." Furthermore, the author explores the threat of the PRC air force to the Taiwan Strait security and thinks of whether there are deficient defenses against the Taiwan Strait crisis in Taiwan in the future. If possible, before the outbreak of conflict in the Taiwan Strait, Taiwan should be active in readiness for it.
This study suggests that the PRC air force strategy has been a strategic military service towards the development of offensive defense. Their weapon-making capability has been greatly enhanced and they also grasp excellent martial force in outer space to support the use of air force. In addition, their capabilities in joint operations and long-range force projection have greatly promoted through the diversity of new battlefield and validation exercise. Indeed, the situation in the Taiwan Strait has been an imbalance. Under the condition of that the PRC air force fighter planes are gradually superior to Taiwan in quality and quantity, we should think about how to learn their advantage for our own use, strengthen our air force and anti-system capabilities, speed up the procurement of a new generation of fighters, emphasize the importance of enhancing weapon-making capability, promote the asymmetric warfare, maintain the US-Japan friendly relations, and actively join the regional alliance in order to effectively carry out homeland defense strategy and ensure national security.
