What is the purpose of the Liaoning aircraft carrier passing through the Taiwan Strait? Ministry of National Defense responds.

The Ministry of National Defense held a press conference on the afternoon of April 30th, with Colonel Zhang Xiaogang as the spokesperson answering questions from reporters. One reporter asked about the recent reports of Liaoning and Sichuan ships passing through the Taiwan Strait, with the Taiwan defense department claiming to have closely monitored the situation. Some media outlets have suggested that the actions of the Liaoning ship were a demonstration of military force towards Taiwan and a response to Japanese ships passing through the Taiwan Strait. What is your comment on this? Zhang Xiaogang stated that Taiwan is part of China, and the passage of Liaoning and Sichuan ships through the Taiwan Strait for training in relevant areas is a routine arrangement aimed at enhancing mission capabilities.
