CHINA-PLA: PLAN AIRCRAFT CARRIER LIAONING ENTERS SOUTH CHINA SEA ON APRIL 10
|
After holding exercises in waters east of the island of Taiwan for about a week, the PLA Navy's Liaoning aircraft carrier task group sailed south on April 10 into the South China Sea, where a US carrier strike group and an amphibious ready group held provocative exercises one day earlier. The passage of the Liaoning occurs as tensions between China and the US continue to rise over the island of Taiwan, with the US loosening restrictions on government engagement with the island.
