ChiComs Preparing to Launch Hordes of Robot Wolves to Attack Taiwan
China plots unleashing machinegun-toting 'robot wolves' onto Taiwanese beaches in drone-led invasion
China has been carrying out military drills using 'robot wolves' as fears grow that the communist nation is preparing to invade Taiwan.
The People's Liberation Army said it is testing a new warfare tactic which involves using robots, which were first unveiled at an airshow last year.
Recent footage aired on state television showed the so-called 'robot wolves' being used in a practice drone-led assault on a beach.
The four-legged devices are being developed with the aim of replacing human soldiers to reduce combat casualties.
The robot wolves are able to clear barbed wire and other obstacles easily, allowing the PLA to use the devises in a similar way to 'drone swarms', which have become a crucial tactic in the Ukraine war and are used to overwhelm air defences.
According to Chinese media, the devices can also fire precise shots and work in rough terrains.
Weighing around 70kg, the robot wolves can also hit targets which are up to 100 metres away, state media reports.
The military exercise also featured a pack of kamikaze drones.

The military drills using robot wolves comes amid mounting fears that China is preparing to invade the island nation of Taiwan as Beijing appears to grow increasingly aggressive toward its neighbour in recent years.
Earlier this year, China deployed dozens of warships and planes to encircle Taiwan in menacing, large-scale war games.
Chilling satellite pictures also revealed what appear to be Beijing's 'invasion barges' - gargantuan platforms that connect to form a mobile pier that could enable thousands of soldiers and hundreds of vehicles to land on Taiwan's shores.
The multi-day military drills forced Taipei to respond by scrambling fighter jets and warships of their own to dissuade any overzealous members of the PLA from posing a serious threat.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), headed by authoritarian President Xi Jinping, sees Taiwan as a renegade province to be brought back under Beijing's control, by force if necessary.
Taiwan's elected Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presides over a self-governing, democratic society and has sought close ties with the US, hoping its political, military and economic heft will keep Xi's expansionist tendencies at bay.
American deterrence, the reliance of China's export economy on the West and the cost of a military operation to seize Taiwan has led most analysts to suggest Beijing is more likely to use less direct means to pressure Taipei.
But politicians, military chiefs and industry leaders around the world can no longer afford to ignore the prospect of a full-scale invasion - a scenario which would shake the foundations of the world as we know it and could well trigger a Third World War.
China warns Japan of 'crushing' defeat, tells Chinese citizens to shun visits
BEIJING, Nov 14 (Reuters) - China on Friday warned Japan of a "crushing" military defeat if it uses force to intervene over Taiwan, and even cautioned Chinese citizens against visits to Japan, angered by its prime minister's remarks about the island, which Beijing claims.
Tokyo on Friday summoned Beijing's ambassador to Japan to protest against a top Chinese diplomat's online post about Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, continuing a tit-for-tat spat that has run for a week.
Takaichi sparked a diplomatic row with Beijing with comments in parliament last week that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could amount to a "survival-threatening situation" and trigger a military response from Tokyo.
Last Saturday, China's Consul General in Osaka, Xue Jian, shared a news article about Takaichi's remarks about Taiwan on X and commented "the dirty neck that sticks itself in must be cut off" in a now-deleted post.
The Japanese foreign ministry retaliated by summoning the Chinese ambassador to Japan for what it called "extremely inappropriate" statements made by Xue.
Some senior Japanese political figures have called for Xue's expulsion, but Tokyo has so far only asked Beijing to "take appropriate measures" without elaborating.
Chinese Defence Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin said that Takaichi's words were extremely irresponsible and dangerous.
"Should the Japanese side fail to draw lessons from history and dare to take a risk, or even use force to interfere in the Taiwan question, it will only suffer a crushing defeat against the steel-willed People's Liberation Army and pay a heavy price," Jiang said in a statement.
On Thursday, the Chinese foreign ministry summoned Japan's ambassador to China to lodge a "strong protest" over Takaichi's remarks.
It was the first time in more than two years that Beijing has called in a Japanese ambassador. It last summoned the then-ambassador in August 2023 over Japan's decision to release wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea.
The ministry on Friday also expressed "serious concerns" about Japan's recent military and security moves, including ambiguity over its non-nuclear principles.
Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said at a press conference that Japan's decision not to rule out acquiring nuclear submarines indicates a major "negative" policy shift.
Late on Friday the ministry asked Chinese citizens to avoid travelling to Japan in the near future, citing deteriorating ties over Takaichi's remarks and the "significant risks" its nationals would face there.
LINGERING GRIEVANCES
Chinese state media has weighed in with a series of vitriolic editorials and commentaries lambasting Takaichi, given lingering grievances about Japan's wartime past and China's extreme sensitivity over anything Taiwan-related, just two weeks after Chinese leader Xi Jinping met Takaichi in South Korea.
Takaichi's remarks were by no means an "isolated political rant," the Communist Party's People's Daily said earlier on Friday in a commentary.
Japan's right wing has been trying to loosen some of the constraints of the country's post-World War Two constitution and pursue the status of a military power, said the commentary published under the pen name "Zhong Sheng", meaning "Voice of China" and often used to give views on foreign policy.
"In recent years, Japan has been racing headlong down the path of military buildup," the paper added.
"From frequent visits to the Yasukuni Shrine, to denying the Nanjing Massacre, to vigorously hyping the 'China threat theory,' Takaichi's every step follows the old footprints of historical guilt, attempting to whitewash a history of aggression and revive militarism."
World War Two and the Japanese invasion of China which preceded it in 1931 remain a source of ongoing tension between Beijing and Tokyo.
Beijing claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own and has not ruled out using force to take control of the island. Taiwan's government rejects Beijing's claims and says only its people can decide the island's future.
Taiwan sits just over 110 km (68 miles) from Japanese territory and the waters around the island provide a vital sea route for trade that Tokyo depends on. Japan also hosts the largest contingent of U.S. military overseas.
Japanese broadcaster NTV reported on Friday the Chinese embassy in Tokyo had instructed its staff to avoid going out due to concerns about rising anti-China sentiment.
In a regular news conference, Japan's top government spokesperson Minoru Kihara reiterated the country's position on Taiwan, telling reporters that Tokyo hopes for a peaceful resolution of the issue through dialogue.
