After the Liaoning aircraft carrier, the Shandong aircraft carrier was also photographed by satellite in the South China Sea, where it barely moved. Netizens teased that the U.S. ships have new toys and the Shandong is waiting for the allied forces to “escort” them.
Observation of foreign tracking satellite information tweeted by the powder special “New‧Elderly Seventh Army Military Miscellany” on April 28, posted that from foreign Twitter accounts found that the Shandong from Sanya base out to sea, from the South China Sea out of the direction of the Bus Strait. However, the instant satellite photo on the 29th shows that the Shandong still stays in the east of the sea off Sanya city, almost no different from its position on the 28th.
The satellite found little difference between the position of the Shandong on the 28th and the 29th.
Prior to that, the Liaoning carrier formation had also stayed in place about 290 kilometers from Sanya port, attracting several U.S. and Japanese warships to watch. Netizens ridiculed “the Liaoning has become a netizen punching bag” and “the Americans are so nice to escort the Liaoning all the way and rescue it at any time”.
Now, the Shandong ship is also strangely staying in place at sea, which has once again triggered a hot debate on the internet. Netizens have left messages teasing: “U.S. ships: another new toy”.
“The joint strike group of the aircraft carrier Elizabeth said: can wait for me a few more days before driving out? So that we can accompany the navigation ah.”
“And then halfway through the voyage they found another multinational coalition helping to escort them out of nowhere.”
“How are you going to invade Taiwan when you’re always being watched 24/7 like this, please?”
Other netizens mocked, “(The Shandong) should carry a lot of food, after all, it has to eat many meals a day.”
Earlier (April 6), the Chinese Communist Party’s CCTV revealed for the first time the internal structure of the USS Shandong. According to the soldiers on board, the USS Shandong has to prepare seven meals a day, in addition to three main meals in the morning, lunch and evening, there are two intermeals and two night meals, which is two meals more than the five meals of the U.S. aircraft carriers.
Netizens mocked this, saying, “7 meals a day! More than the U.S. carrier 2 meals!” “Shandong ship wins again” and “rice bucket army”.
In fact, the combat capability of Chinese aircraft carriers has always been questioned by the outside world, and the “Shandong” has been ridiculed by international media as a “paper tiger floating on the sea”.
On April 4, the USS Mustin (DDG-89), a Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, watched the Liaoning from close range. The U.S. side released a photo of the USS Mustin’s captain and co-captain crossing their feet on the deck and smiling at the Liaoning, signaling the U.S. military’s disdain for the Chinese carrier’s combat capabilities.
However, the Chinese military has been making frequent moves in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait, continuing to provoke and threaten Taiwan, heating up the situation in the Taiwan Strait and raising the alarm of the international community. The United States, Japan, Australia and other countries have taken a stand, emphasizing that the security of the Taiwan Strait is quite important to all countries.
The U.S. and Japanese heads of state recently held their first meeting at the White House, and both sides publicly stated that they would work together to maintain the stability of the situation in the Taiwan Strait. Australia’s defense minister even stressed not to underestimate the possibility that Australia might come into conflict with the Chinese Communist Party because of the Taiwan issue.
Tang Hao, a veteran media figure, believes that more and more countries are openly attaching importance to Taiwan’s security and preparing their entire armies for war, which also puts the Chinese Communist Party in an embarrassment.
