ZHUHAI, China: China's drive for self-sufficiency in aerospace and its growing military prowess will be on display at the country's largest air show this week, in an event set against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic and trade frictions with the West.

Local aerospace and defence firms have ramped up their presence significantly. Major Western suppliers like Airbus and Boeing will send their China-based teams, and there will also be a virtual component for those unable to travel. Trade frictions with the West are also accelerating China's desire to reduce its dependency on foreign-made commercial products.

State media reported the J-16D electronic warfare version of the J-16 fighter jet will make its show debut. A new series of drone products named Feihong, including an unmanned helicopter, loitering missiles and a new generation of stealth drones, will make their debut at the show.
