As it is reported that both Chinese and US aircraft carrier flyers have entered the disputed waters of the South and South China Seas, tensions are increasing in this area. According to the data of the Chinese think tank’South China Sea Strategic Posture Detection Plan’ (SCSPI) on the 6th, the US Navy’s Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier flier entered the South China Sea on the 4th through the Straits of Melaka connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Reported. The aircraft carrier flyer had conducted joint exercises with Indian forces in the area of ​​Bengal Bay in the eastern Indian Ocean on 28-29 last month. Earlier, an aircraft carrier flyer led by China’s first aircraft carrier, Liaoning, passed through the Miyako Strait near Okinawa, Japan, connecting the East China Sea and the Western Pacific Ocean on the 3rd. The newspaper said, “The passage of the Liaoning carrier leaflet through the Miyako Strait was only a few days after the Ministry of Defense urged Japan to’stop all provocations’ in the East China Sea near the Diaoyu Islands (Japanese name Senkaku Islands).” It is a kind of’armed protest’ aimed at Japan. The Chinese military’s pressure on Taiwan continues. Taiwan’s Ministry of Defense released data on the day, saying, “Chinese military aircraft, including four Zen (J)-16 fighters, entered the Southwestern Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on the 5th, and then withdrew after a sortie and warning broadcast for patrol aircraft.” This is the third time that a Chinese military aircraft has entered Taiwan’s air defense identification zone. The Taiwanese side is also raising the level of military response against the successive protests by the Chinese military. He said that Taiwanese Haesoon-seo (Marine Police) decided to conduct live ammunition drills on the 25th and 2nd of next month, respectively, in the sea near the Dongsa (Pratas) archipelago in the South China Sea, which is effectively controlled by their country.
