A recent news circulated through the social media, that I find interesting enough to share here. The original message is written in Chinese (Traditional). As it mentioned about the air transportation capability, implied to the Y-20 fleet, I just put it here.

日本媒體的評論：
中國借武漢緊急動員體制，向世界展示出幾乎與美國並肩的戰爭動員能力。空運是日本的四倍，鐵路運輸是日本的九十倍，一週建上千病牀的高等級戰爭醫院，人員和物資的快速集中，數千萬人的瞬間移動管制，無一不在是向世界展示了中國已經是一個不可以作為戰爭對手的國家，從而達到了不戰而屈人之兵的目的。
第一次看到日本用這種眼光看待中國，把中國的抗疫等同於大型戰爭的全國總動員！

這個總結很好，發給大家分享。

{The English translation}

Comments by Japanese media:

With the help of Wuhan Emergency Mobilization System, China has demonstrated to the world its ability to mobilize for war almost side by side with the United States. Air transportation is four times the size of the Japanese, and railway transportation is 90 times that of Japan. The high-level war hospitals with thousands of beds are built in around a week. The rapid concentration of personnel and materials, and the instantaneous movement control of tens of millions of people, all of these capabilities show the world that China is a country that other better not engages as a war opponent, so as to achieve the goal of winning without war.

For the first time, I saw that Japan looked at China in this way, and equated China's anti epidemic campaign with the national mobilization of the whole country in a large-scale war!

This summary is very good. I'll share it with you.

Priority shall be shifted to rapidly put the Y-20 oil tanker into service fast. PLAAF need at least 10 of its in service in 1-2 years time. With 30 Y-20 in service and estimate another 20 IL-76 transport plane, China has the biggest military transport fleet behind Russia and US. Not to mention at least another 60, Y-9 and Y-8, medium transport plane PLAAF possess.
