Xinhua News Agency reported today: "The Chinese authorities announced on Wednesday (September 10) the implementation of traffic control at a major deep-water shipping channel exit in the Yangtze River estuary, at a time when public speculation is rife that the third aircraft carrier of the Chinese Navy, Fujian, may be commissioned on the anniversary of the War of Resistance on September."
Previously, there had been speculation that the Fujian might be commissioned on the 80th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance on September 3, or on the "September 18th Incident" memorial day on September 18. Linking the commissioning with the memorial days of the War of Resistance carries the national sentiment of the Chinese people to remember history and safeguard sovereignty. If the Fujian is successfully commissioned, as China's third aircraft carrier, it will significantly enhance the country's defense capabilities and make foreign aggressors dare not provoke easily.
