(Worthy News) – China sailed its newest aircraft carrier near a Taiwanese island in the Taiwan Strait on Friday in a saber-rattling signal to the United States hours before a video call between President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The carrier Shandong made the passage near the island of Kinmen close to the Chinese port of Xiamen, according to reports from the region. Taiwan’s Defense Ministry confirmed the warship passage in a statement that did not provide details.
