Author:Global Times Time:2022.07.20

Green media once again hyped that mainland aircraft carriers suspected to appear in the Taiwan Strait.

Taiwan's "Free Times" claimed on the 20th that the Shandong ship carrier of the mainland was recorded to the west of the so -called "Taiwan Strait Middle Line" on the 19th, and went south along the mainland to pass the waters near Jinmen, and then followed a suspected supply ship. The report also stated that the Shandong ship was suspected of being "locking the target" by the US Air Force reconnaissance aircraft hovering in the southwest of Taiwan.

In addition, according to the broadcast and trace records, the report claims that in the early morning (7:39), the PLA-8 anti-submarine aircraft also appeared in the southwestern Taiwan airspace with a height of 4,000 meters.

In March of this year, the "Liberty Times" also fired the topic of the Shandong ship through the waters near Golden Gate. At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 18, a Reuters reporter also quoted sources as saying that the Shandong ship crossed the sensitive Taiwan Strait on March 18 and a US destroyer followed. The reporter asked whether the Shandong ship crossed the first call for the first call of China and the United States for the first time, whether it was a coincidence.

At that time, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhao Lijian, said that he believed that Shandong ship carriers had routine training arrangements. We should not associate this matter with the head of China and the United States, "I think you may be too sensitive. The sensitive is you, I'm afraid you are not the Taiwan Strait."

Regarding the "Taiwan Strait Middle Line" in the green media mouth, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council stated that the mainland and Taiwan belong to the same China. Taiwan is an inseparable part of the Chinese territory. There is no so -called "Strait midline".

In addition, Xinhua News Agency reported on December 21, 2020 that according to the naval spokesman Liu Wensheng Naval Colonel, the Chinese Navy's Shandong Ship Aircraft Carrier Formation successfully passed the Taiwan Strait on December 2020 and went to the relevant waters of the South China Sea to conduct training. In the past year, the Shandong Ship has successfully completed the tasks of carrier -based aircraft take -off and landing, actual use of weapons, and combat system debugging. The formation of formation system combat capabilities has been continuously improved in experimental training.

Liu Wensheng said that the organization of the Shandong ship and aircraft carrier formation cross -regional maneuver training is a normal arrangement based on the annual plan. In the future, similar actions will be organized according to training.
