| China's 1st Carrier group underway |
Taiwan defense ministry spokesman Chen Chung-chi on Wednesday said Taipei scrambled its jets and navy ships as a group of Chinese warships led by China’s sole aircraft carrier sailed southwest of the Taiwan Strait.
Chen said the Soviet-built Liaoning aircraft carrier, returning from exercises in the South China Sea, was not trespassing in Taiwan’s territorial waters but entered its air defense identification zone (ADIZ) in the southwest.
Taiwanese military aircraft and ships have been deployed to follow the carrier group, which is sailing up the west side of the median line of the strait, Chen said. “We have full grasp of its movements.”
