Has China’s missile force got America’s Kadena base in Japan in its sights?

Chinese state television aired rare footage suggesting that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Rocket Force has targeted the U.S. Air Force's Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan. During a CCTV documentary titled 'Securing Victory,' PLA officers discussed exercises and combat scenarios using a satellite image of an airfield that appears to match Kadena's layout. The image, though slightly blurred, showed an airfield surrounded by urban development, consistent with Kadena's characteristics. PLA Rocket Force officer Luo Tingrong was depicted addressing personnel while referencing the satellite image, emphasizing the potential relevance of their training to real-world scenarios. The documentary, part of a series commemorating the PLA's 99th anniversary, did not clarify when the discussion occurred.
