Tensions are rising in the South China Sea as China’s third and most advanced aircraft carrier, the Fujian, sailed through the Taiwan Strait, drawing sharp reactions from Taiwan and Japan. Taiwan’s defense ministry accused Beijing of intrusion, while Japan warned that China’s growing naval presence threatens its national security. Beijing insists the passage was routine testing, but analysts see it as a bold display of military might. The Fujian is undergoing sea trials, soon to join China’s fleet, escalating fears of a showdown with U.S. allies.
