Indian Express/Reuters: Taiwan shadows China carrier group after Xi Jinping’s warning against separatism
Taiwan's defence ministry said the carrier group, led by China's sole operational aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, entered the waterway late on Tuesday but kept on its western side.
Taiwan has sent ships and aircraft to shadow a Chinese aircraft carrier group through the narrow Taiwan Strait, its defence ministry said on Wednesday after Chinese President Xi Jinping offered his strongest warning against Taiwan separatism to date.

Im having winter olympics deja vu.
Big speech from China and little more than sending a symbolic aircraft carrier as a "military pressure". There is already the highest rank of American administration in Taiwan today and followed by a loud silence of China. One thing is to bark, an other one is to act.
Plus that aircraft carrier is an embarrassment. ..look at how outdated it is. Bought from Ukraine, I think. ..
