A Liaoning aircraft carrier and two missile destroyers sailed between Yonaguni and Iriomote islands.
TOKYO/TAIPEI - A Chinese aircraft carrier sailed between two Japanese islands near Taiwan for the first time, Japan’s military said on Sept 18, in the latest move by Beijing to rile the close US ally.
“This is the first time that an aircraft carrier belonging to the Chinese Navy has been confirmed to have sailed through the waters between Yonaguni and Iriomote,” a statement said. “During this period, the armed forces have monitored the situation and responded accordingly,” Taiwan’s Defence Ministry said in a statement.
Tokyo has reported the presence of Chinese coast guard vessels, a naval ship and a nuclear-powered submarine around the remote chain of islets. Tokyo is also providing funding and equipment, such as patrol vessels, to other countries in the region.
