Chinese aircraft carriers' frequent passage through Miyako Strait to become standard practice: Party paper

A naval formation consisting of aircraft carrier Liaoning has conducted take-off and landing drills in the South China Sea on January 1, 2017. The formation, which is on a "cross-sea area" training exercise, involved J-15 fighter jets, as well as several ship-borne helicopters. Photo: Navy.81.cn

China's aircraft carriers will more frequently cross through sea lanes, including the Miyako Strait, for deployment in the west Pacific and Indian oceans which will become standard practice, according to an article published by the social media account run by a Party newspaper.

The main missions of Chinese aircraft carriers will be sea routes protection, conducting naval diplomacy, serving as a regional deterrent and humanitarian relief as well as disaster rescue, according to the Tuesday article by Xiakedao, the official WeChat account operated by the overseas edition of People's Daily.

The article came after Japan's public broadcaster NHK reported that a Chinese naval fleet led by the Liaoning aircraft carrier crossed through the Miyako Strait and entered the Pacific Ocean from the East China Sea on Tuesday.

This marks the second time a Chinese aircraft carrier had passed the waters since December 2016, crossing the first island chain, Chinese news website thepaper.cn reported, noting that the Liaoning had just returned from its months-long regular maintenance and modification in April.

Japan reportedly dispatched surveillance vessels, but Xiakedao said that Japan's overreaction was unnecessary as China's aircraft carriers will routinely pass the Miyako Strait.

Neighboring countries sometimes see Chinese aircraft carriers as threats, but China does not need to use them to solve maritime dispute, because even if China were forced to solve the Taiwan question or maritime questions with Japan and some Southeast Asian countries by force, China's warplanes, missiles and destroyers would be sufficient, according to Xiakedao.

"Aircraft carriers are high sea combat platforms, and it is impossible to have them stay near China all day," Xiakedao wrote.

With more and more Chinese working overseas and more and more joint projects underway with other countries, aircraft carriers away from home will be powerful guardians to protect China's overseas interests from regional instabilities, terrorists, and disasters, a military expert who asked not to be named told the Global Times on Wednesday.

The development of aircraft carriers will be the foundation for China to be a major country and shoulder international responsibilities, Xiakedao said.

I wish one day China will just say it in a very plain language, for this case and every other similar case!

What's good for the goose is good for the gander!

What's good for the United States is good for China!

Taipei, June. 25 (CNA) Taiwan's military said Tuesday it closely monitored the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning (遼寧號), as it passed through the Taiwan Strait earlier in the day.

Having completed its mission in the South China Sea, the aircraft carrier, accompanied by a number of other combat ships, sailed north through the Taiwan Strait before returning to its home port of Qingdao in Shandong province, according to the defense ministry.

The Liaoning is China's first aircraft carrier and is named after one of its northeastern provinces. The 300-meter-long vessel was refurbished and upgraded from an unfinished Soviet carrier and commissioned in 2012.

The Liaoning was observed passing through the Miyako Strait in the East China Sea earlier this month on its way to the Pacific Ocean, where the People's Liberation Army Navy conducted training operations, according to Japan's defense ministry.

The last time the Liaoning is confirmed to have taken this route was in December 2016.

Long? It was only 11 days from Miyako Strait to Sanya.
