TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — China has completed its 70th all-time carrier take-off and landing exercises and 10th long-distance voyage, Taiwan's Defense Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng (邱國正) said on Thursday (May 5).

Chiu said that any Chinese naval operation conducted beyond the East and South China Sea is considered a long-distance voyage. He emphasized that the defense ministry has full control of Chinese military activities around Taiwan, CNA reported.

In principle, all Chinese naval ships are in confrontation with the Taiwanese military, Chiu said, adding that sometimes there will be more ships in the area due to changes in the environment. The Chinese navy and air force also conduct joint exercises, he said.

Taiwan is aware of the number of assets involved in these drills, Chiu said, but he did not disclose any further information. Only under special circumstances will the defense ministry share related information with the public, CNA cited Chiu as saying.

They actually managed to get the Russian carrier they bought to go to sea?

It sat in the dry dock for years while the Chinese were trying to figure out how to get it operational.

After hundreds of years of executing peasants who could and would speak for themselves,the Chinese people of today as a general rule are NOT very creative.

Ask anybody who has live in Asia for any length of time,and they will tell you the same thing.

Go ahead,call me a racist and see if I GAS.
