After China sent its aircraft carrier cruiser to the shores of Taiwan, the United States took a similar step. The American aircraft carrier USS Nimitz is currently four hundred miles from Taiwan.
The Chinese aircraft carrier Shandong is now in the same area, whose departure was announced the day before by the maritime security department of eastern China’s Fujian province. As explained in the department, the reason for the start of patrols in the central and northern parts of the Taiwan Strait by the Chinese Navy was the meeting of Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy with Taiwan Administration Chief Tsai Ing. -wen.
It should be noted that the Taiwanese authorities do not link the approach of an American aircraft carrier to the coasts of the island with the start of patrols of the Taiwan Strait by a Chinese ship.
We can’t say if he came here for this, but he ended up in this place and in these circumstances, so now everything is interconnected.
Taiwanese Defense Minister Qiu Guozheng said.
He pointed out that the Chinese Navy’s Shandong aircraft carrier is currently located about 200 nautical miles east of Taiwan’s southernmost point. At the same time, aircraft take-offs from its deck have not yet been recorded.
Recall that China has repeatedly expressed its concern over the frequent meetings of Taiwanese officials with US officials.
