China Says Liaoning Aircraft Carrier Completes over 40 Days of Drills
CCTV said the group completed air defence, anti-ship and live-fire drills and handled repeated close-range encounters with Japanese ships and aircraft.
- On Monday, China's Liaoning carrier group returned to Qingdao after completing more than 40 days of long-range combat training in the South China Sea and western Pacific Ocean, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
- The training prioritized combat readiness through air defense, anti-ship strikes, and live-fire exercises, while joint operations with an amphibious assault ship group enhanced far-sea coordination in the Pacific Ocean.
- China accused Japanese warplanes and ships of carrying out "provocations" and surveillance operations during the deployment, with CCTV alleging "repeated close-range tracking, harassment and provocation" by Japanese forces against the group.
- CCTV released video footage on Monday documenting at least four close-range encounters, reporting the Liaoning group "warned off" foreign warships and aircraft while handling incidents "professionally and prudently."
- Japan previously monitored the Liaoning group east of the Philippines' Luzon island in late May, though Japan has not yet responded to the latest accusations regarding the encounters.
