The Shandong participated in Chinese military drills around Taiwan last month, operating in the western Pacific.
In March of last year, the Shandong sailed through the Taiwan Strait, just hours before the Chinese and U.S. presidents were due to talk. China has continued military activities on a smaller scale around Taiwan after formally ending its war games last month. On Saturday, Taiwan’s defense ministry also said over the previous 24 hours that eight Chinese fighter jets had crossed the strait’s median line, something Chinese warplanes have been doing on a regular basis since earlier war games last August.The government of Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen strongly disputes Beijing’s sovereignty claims and says only the island’s people can decide their future.
