China's navy to test Shandong aircraft carrier in 10-day drill

China will hold a 10-day military exercise in the South China Sea, just
off the southern Chinese Coast, in the waters surrounding Hainan.
The drill will begin on Wednesday, according to the South China
Morning Post, which cited China’s maritime safety divisions.
Three simultaneous exercises, aimed at bolstering China's military
presence in the contested waters, will feature one of the country's newest
aircraft carriers, the Shandong, which entered into the Chinese navy last year
and will be combat ready within the next few months.
The exercises will also feature China's Type 075 amphibious assault ship
fitted with a helicopter landing dock and will "test new equipment which had
joined the service over the past year."
“These exercises are arranged according to the PLA’s annual training
plan signed by Xi Jinping, Chairman of the Central Military Mission, in
January," a People’s Liberation Army source told the paper.
The drills, which have been in the works for over a month, were
postponed earlier in the year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Beijing
states that out of its 2.3 million personnel, there are currently no reported
coronavirus cases within the military.

 The Shandong carrier group sailed through the Taiwan Strait a day after a
US warship transited the same waterway. China's military said it tailed the ship.
China's navy said the Shandong and its accompanying ships had
"smoothly" transited the sensitive and narrow Taiwan Strait on Sunday, heading
for exercises in the South China Sea, where Beijing has made extensive and
disputed territorial gains.
The drills are part of "normal arrangements made in accordance with
annual plans," it said. "In the future, we will continue to organize similar
operations based on training needs."
Taiwan's Defense Ministry said the Shandong was accompanied by four
warships and had set out from the northern Chinese port of Dalian on Thursday.
Taiwan said it sent six warships and eight air force aircraft to "stand guard" and
monitor movement of the Chinese ships.
The Shandong is China's second carrier, and was formally commissioned
almost exactly a year ago.
Since then, it has successfully completed tasks such as carrier-based
aircraft takeoff and landing and use of its weapons, the Chinese navy said.
"The combat capability of the formation system has been continuously
improved in experimental training," it added, referring to the group of warships
which accompany the Shandong.
China has been working to hone its carrier operations, but has little
experience compared to the United States, which has operated integrated carrier
battle groups with multiple vessels for decades.
