Colonel Shi Yi, a spokesman for the Chinese military’s Eastern Command, said in a statement that China firmly objects to the actions of the United States and that its forces remain on high alert..
This comes at a time when China has put into service a third aircraft carrier, in a step that can be described as a major development towards modernizing the Chinese army and transforming China into a global and giant naval power.
China’s third aircraft carrier, named “Fujian”, named after a province of the same name, joins two other carriers that have already entered service, the Liaoning and Shandong, which were launched in late 2019.
China launched the new aircraft carrier in a ceremony to mark its landing at the Shanghai shipyard, according to public broadcaster CCTV.
