Chinas newest aircraft carrier, the CNS Fujian, recently sailed through the Taiwan Strait, marking its first known trip since entering service. This high-profile move showcases Beijings growing naval strength and highlights ongoing tensions in the waterway separating China from Taiwan. The carriers destination remains uncertain, with possibilities including maintenance in Shanghai, further training, or a training area for carrier operations.
