China confirms first domestically built aircraft carrier sailed through
Taiwan Strait
BEIJING, Nov 18, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – China confirmed on Monday that its first
domestically-built aircraft carrier had sailed through the Taiwan Strait for
“routine” training and tests after Taipei accused Beijing of intimidation.
“It is not aimed at any specific target and has nothing to do with the
current situation,” navy spokesman Cheng Dewei said on an official social
media account.
