This defense initiative of the Chinese government was shared by some military experts who are familiar with China's activities.
One of these anonymous individuals claims that China is improving the deliveries of its J-20 fighter jets so it can match the United States deployments of its F-35 Raptors.
The military insider added that China would rely on its new world-class pulsating production lines to speed up J-20 deliveries.
China J-20 Stealth Jet Deliveries Being Enhanced
According to the South China Morning Post's latest report, the new pulsating production lines of China are expected to increase its J-20 units.

Since this assembly tech is also used by other aircraft manufacturers, such as Lockheed Martin, the numbers of J-20s are expected to equal or even exceed the United States F-22 Raptor deliveries.
China began mass-producing this advanced stealth fighter jet back in 2020. As of writing, the Chinese government hasn't revealed how many J-20s it has in its arsenal.
Since J-20 is considered China's answer to the American F-22 fighter jet, the Chinese government will certainly ensure that it has the needed numbers of units to defend its lands from potential threats.
What is Pulsating Production Line?
This is the first time China revealed it would use the pulsating production line tech (also known as pulse line).
For those who have no idea what this assembly technology is, the pulsating production line is the method of assembling aircraft units after it enters the final assembly process.
Boeing's official website explained that the products in a pulse line are positioned sequentially in a straight or U-shaped line.
These aircraft parts include landing gear, wings, tails, engines, cockpits, as well as weapons. You can visit this link to learn more about this assembly line.
While China is enhancing its J-20 deliveries, other countries are also improving their defense techs.
Recently, the U.S. Navy's first autonomous surface vessel fleet was confirmed.
The U.K. Royal Air Force also launched its new military aircraft that relies on cooking oil.
