A very large naval force with aircraft carriers, a helicopter carrier and a total of 90 warships has been mobilized by China in the South China and Yellow Seas, a fact that has alarmed the US Naval Command because of Taiwan.
China's top fighter and surface ships have been deployed together for the first time in the South China Sea.
These are the three state-of-the-art Type 055 destroyers (Renhai), namely the Xianyang 108, Zunyi 107, Yan'an 106 and one 052C class destroyer (Haikou 171). These ships practice on precision strikes, anti-submarine warfare and air defense exercises.
It is rare for the People's Liberation Army to deploy three Type 055 anti-ship guided missiles in one training(?) mission.
Also spotted in the South China Sea was the Type 075 Yushen (LHD) class helicopter carrier.
In the Yellow Sea, the PLA's newest and most advanced aircraft carrier Fujian has completed 20 days of sea trials while the Liaoning aircraft carrier is also in the area.
The Americans note that five civilian-military ferries have canceled their routes, a prelude to a large-scale mobilization.
China checks and tests the plan to invade Taiwan. The Americans have detected for days transfers of forces and missile systems on the coast of China, opposite Taiwan. Transfers are always made during the night.
