The People's Liberation Army (PLA) conducted 'Justice Mission-2025' in December 2025, focusing on Taiwan and featuring the Type 075 amphibious assault ship. The exercise included training for blockade and control of strategic areas and emphasized outer-line deterrence.

The presence of the Type 075 indicates a shift in the PLA's approach, utilizing large combat platforms beyond traditional aircraft carriers. Integrated training highlighted anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities, suggesting a strategic focus on complicating external intervention in the Taiwan Strait. The Type 075's role appears to be part of a broader strategy for layered military pressure rather than solely for amphibious assault.
