BEIJING, Sept 12 — China’s third aircraft carrier, the Fujian, recently passed through the Taiwan Strait to carry out scientific research tests and training missions in the South China Sea, a Chinese military spokesperson said on Friday.
The cross-sea tests and training for the Fujian is a regular arrangement in the aircraft carrier’s construction process, and it is not aimed at any specific target, said Senior Captain Leng Guowei, a spokesperson for the Chinese navy.
