China's Aircraft Carrier Fujian Passes Through Taiwan Strait Amid Rising Tensions
China's latest aircraft carrier, the Fujian, made its way through the Taiwan Strait, as reported by the Taiwanese defense ministry. This event occurred shortly after Taiwan initiated a five-day military exercise focused on responding to potential Chinese threats. The Fujian, China's most advanced carrier among its three, had previously conducted trial runs in the strait in September and officially entered service in December. This development has raised tensions in the region, with the United States expressing concerns over China's military activities in the area.
