China wants to recruit military pilots from the U.S. and its allies to strengthen Chinese air power, bulletin warns
NBCJUN 2024
As Beijing prepares for a likely attempt to take over Taiwan, its People's Liberation Army has ramped up efforts to address a lack of pilot proficiency and technical capabilities. Western-trained service members must be aware that if they teach Chinese personnel, they are putting national security at risk — and likely violating the law.
It's very hypocritical of the Five Eyes to urge aviators not to train Chinese pilots now that Western nations have decided to turn China into an adversary. Pilot training schools, with international customers, have operated in these five countries — as well as in many others in the West — for years.
