The Liaoning aircraft carrier group has crossed the Taiwan Strait once again, with multiple military aircraft flying across the median line, forming a three-dimensional blockade.

The "Liaoning" aircraft carrier sails through the Taiwan Strait again!

According to a report from Taiwan's China Times Online today, Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer's passage through the Taiwan Strait on the 17th triggered strong dissatisfaction from the Chinese mainland. On this day (April 20), Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense announced that the People's Liberation Army's Liaoning aircraft carrier had sailed through the Taiwan Strait today, under close monitoring by Taiwan's military forces. The ministry also revealed that by 6 a.m. today, it had detected five sorties of PLA military aircraft—four of which crossed the "median line of the strait" into the southwest airspace—as well as 11 warships and one government vessel continuously operating around the Taiwan Strait area.

The repeated passage of the Liaoning aircraft carrier group through the Taiwan Strait serves as a dual deterrence against Japan's provocation and "Taiwan independence" forces, demonstrating the mainland’s firm resolve to safeguard sovereignty and maintain stability across the Taiwan Strait. The DPP authorities continue their strategy of "relying on external forces for independence" and "resisting unification through military means," constantly testing red lines. The Liaoning's transit through the Taiwan Strait sends a clear message based on strength: "Taiwan independence equals war." Any attempt at splitting the country will be met with a resolute counterattack. The four aircraft crossings of the "median line" and the presence of 11 warships conducting patrols have established a comprehensive encirclement posture, allowing "Taiwan independence" forces to personally feel the pressure of military deterrence.

The Japanese warship's crossing of the Taiwan Strait on the 17th was an intentional provocation against China's sovereignty. The swift response by the Liaoning underscores the fact that the mainland will not tolerate any external force playing the "Taiwan card." As a strategic heavy weapon, the aircraft carrier’s route is an extension of national will. The Taiwan Strait is neither an international waterway nor a place where the ghosts of Japanese militarism can roam freely.
