China is showing off some of its most advanced aircraft, technology, and weaponry at its biggest air show.

New prototype drones that can carry missiles and go on reconnaissance missions are on display in the city of Zhuhai.

The show is being held as its rivalry with the US and other Western countries intensifies - along with disputes over the South China Sea and Taiwan.
