Taiwan previously reported that the Shandong, commissioned in 2019, sailed into waters in the Western Pacific through the Bashi Channel that separates the island from the Philippines.
TAIPEI, Taiwan – Taiwan’s defense ministry said on Monday, April 24, that a Chinese carrier group led by the Shandong was about 120 nautical miles off the southeast of the island’s coast, the same ship that took part in China’s war games around the island earlier this month.
After Tsai returned to Taiwan, China staged several days of exercises around the island, with the Shandong and its fighter jets participating in the Pacific Ocean. Taiwan’s armed forces were closely tracking the ships and “appropriately responding”, the ministry said.
