TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — China’s newest and most powerful of its three aircraft carriers sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Tuesday, the Taiwanese defense ministry said, a day after Taiwan began a five-day military exercise on responding to a Chinese attack.
The Fujian carrier first sailed through the narrow body of water separating China and Taiwan in a trial run last September.
It later transited the strait for the first time as a fully commissioned military vessel in December.
China claims the self-governed island as part of its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to bring it under Beijing’s control.
China regularly sends navy vessels and war planes towards Taiwan in military exercises that have become more frequent in recent years in where they now occur almost daily.
Taiwan on Monday kicked off its own five-day exercise to support its response in case of a possible Chinese military invasion.
The Fujian was commissioned in November 2025.
It is world’s largest nonnuclear-powered warship, according to the U.S.
Naval Institute, and is considered more advanced than China’s other two carriers, the Shandong and the Liaoning.
