January 28, 2010: The Chinese 15th Airborne Corps (three airborne divisions and an aviation brigade) has, for the last two decades, been the primary airborne infantry force in the Chinese military, and the primary rapid reaction force as well. China has enough air transports (Il-76s, Yu-8s, Yu-7s) to move one of the 11,000 man airborne divisions to anywhere in China within 48 hours. This was demonstrated two years ago, when one division was sent to Sichuan province, to assist in earthquake relief. The first use of this capability was in1988, when a division was moved to Tibet.

2010年1月28日：中国第15空降军（三个空降师和一个航空旅），建立了二十年之久，是中国军队的主要空降步兵力量，并且也是主要快速反应力量。中国有足够的运输机（Il-76、运-8、运-7）在48小时内去转移11,000名人员的空降师到中国任何地区。这在二年以前被示范，当时一个师被派遣到四川省（Sichuan），去协助地震减灾。这一个能力的第一次使用是在1988年，当时一个师被转移到西藏。

The 15th Airborne Corps is now receiving more helicopters, and practicing tactical movements, via helicopter, for airborne brigades. These exercises are becoming more frequent, as more of the 15th Airborne Corps nine paratroops brigades, are trained to undertake these helicopter movements and assaults. These operations would be a major feature of an attempt to take Taiwan by force.

第15空降军正在接收更多的直升飞机，而且练习经由直升飞机对空降旅战术机动。这些练习正在成为常态化，如更多的第15空降军九个伞兵旅，被训练担任这些直升飞机机动和攻击。这些操作一个主要的特征是一种尝试去强行收复台湾。
