The reason I did the translation is that none of English-language report says the naval exercise aspect. I think that this is more than a diplomatic snub to send a message.

China was conducting large-scale military exercise for blockade of Taiwan. They imposed flight ban on eastern coastal area, causing lots of flight delays, because of this exercise.

Both flight ban and Kitty Hawk incident can be nicely explained by this naval exercise.

This translated article shows the real picture behind these incidents.

This translated article shows the real picture behind these incidents.

Well, fine.

However, YOU left out the whole story -- and therefore was misleading -- by translating an article that does NOT tell the final outcome — that the Kitty Hawk group was allowed to dock for Thanksgiving.

Also, read the articles I linked. They told a great deal about the problems with the Chinese navy and the Kitty Hawk carrier group.
