Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning conducts military exercises around Taiwan ... in mind to block external reinforcements?

The Chinese Communist Party's military newspaper, "Liberation Army Bulletin," confirmed that the Navy and Air Force conducted military exercises around Taiwan from May 6th to 8th.

Also, on May 6th, 18 Chinese fighters invaded the air defense identification zone to the south of Taiwan. On 9th, a helicopter, believed to be the Chinese attack HYERI copter "WZ-10", flew low in the airspace east of Taiwan. Taiwanese military expert Su Zu Yun analyzes that these activities are also a series of "Liaoning" military exercises.

China's military expert, Song Jung-Ping, said, "If military action is taken against Taiwan, it will surely encircle the entire island," he said. "It is very important to place the aircraft carrier in the waters of eastern Taiwan. First, it can block reinforcements from the outside. Furthermore, it can strike military bases in eastern Taiwan and contain Taiwanese fighters", he analyzed.

Finally, Mr. Song said, "Currently, the situation inside Taiwan and the international public opinion led by the United States are both complicated. The United States and Taiwan frequently cooperate to provoke China by using the military clash between Russia and Ukraine. It is trying to increase its military power, which forces the Liberation Army to make military preparations."
