The Taiwan Affairs Office responded to claims from some in Taiwan that the Sichuan ship poses a great threat.

On the morning of November 19th, the Taiwan Affairs Office held a routine press conference. Reporter: Recently, our country's first amphibious assault ship 076 Sichuan completed its first sea trial mission. Military experts in Taiwan claim that the "threat level" of the Sichuan surpasses that of the Shandong and Liaoning ships. Do you have any comments on this? Spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office Zhu Fenglian: We congratulate the Navy's Sichuan ship for successfully completing its first sea trial mission in the relevant waters. The Sichuan ship is a new generation of amphibious assault ship in the Navy, innovatively applying electromagnetic catapult and arrestor technology, capable of carrying fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and amphibious equipment. The People's Navy is becoming increasingly powerful and will undoubtedly better safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as protect the interests of the Chinese nation.
