CNN: China's PLA Navy is controlling coronavirus and aircraft carrier's deployment proves it, report says
(CNN)A Chinese naval flotilla headed into the Pacific over the weekend, evidence that the People's Liberation Army Navy has done a much better job controlling coronavirus than the US Navy, according to a story posted on the PLA's English-language website.
The aircraft carrier Liaoning led the group, which included two guided-missile destroyers, two guided-missile frigates and an auxiliary ship, according to the report from state-run tabloid Global Times. It cited Japanese and Taiwanese reports and noted the PLA had not confirmed the operation.
The report said that the Chinese carrier was carrying out this operation while four US Navy aircraft carriers -- the USS Theodore Roosevelt, the USS Ronald Reagan, the USS Carl Vinson and the USS Nimitz -- have reported cases of coronavirus, crimping their operations.
The Roosevelt, now docked in Guam, has been hit the hardest by the virus, with 585 cases among its crew of more than 4,000 people. Almost all of them have been moved ashore on the island and work is going on to disinfect the ship, delaying its ability to deploy.
The PLA Navy has no such issues, Chinese military experts told the Global Times.

WNU Editor: The Global Times article that is making this boast is here .... PLA aircraft carrier sails through Miyako Strait (ECNS.cn/Global Times). What's my take? China treats its military personnel differently from the U.S. and other Western and Western-allied nations. I also learned a long time ago, doubly so with this coronavirus pandemic, to not trust anything coming out from China.

It's not a issue yet. I don't think China is done with covid 19. Or maybe covid 19 isn't done with China yet.
Whats at issue is their carrier can only carry 3 days worth of fuel.
That carrier was a casino in Ukraine,LOL!!!
If China thinks it can get away with any major military moves, nows the time with at least 4 US carrier battle groups out of action. 🤧😷
Carriers like these aren't really blue water. Leave the shorelines and you die. They will be pivotal retaking Taiwan.
Let me know when the invasion starts Anon,lol!!!!
