A Chinese military Eiffel Tower mystery

The Drive has imagery of a Chinese military base in Inner Mongolia containing, among other things, a less-than-full-size-but-very-large Eiffel Tower replica. Is China toying with the idea of storming France? Epcot?
Maybe. The Drive writes that China has taken a cue from the United States to “prepare its forces for the sorts of environments they’d be likely to fight in during future conflicts.” More disturbingly, the base also reportedly houses a “huge full-size mockup of a portion of downtown Taipei.”
