🚢 On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, China’s Navy officially kicked off its “three-carrier era” with the commissioning of its third aircraft carrier, the Fujian. 🇨🇳⚓️
This milestone follows the Liaoning and the Shandong, marking a leap forward in strengthening national defense and advancing the armed forces toward world-class capabilities, said Chen Binhua, a spokesperson for the Chinese mainland’s Taiwan Affairs Office, at a regular press conference.
“The arrival of the ‘three-carrier era’ is a major achievement in our defense development,” Chen noted. “This enhanced capacity will safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, foiling any forces that seek to split our sacred territory.”
The Fujian is the first carrier in China’s Navy to feature electromagnetic catapult technology, underlining significant progress in both new quality productive forces and defense capabilities. Its entry into service has drawn attention in the Taiwan region.
As China’s maritime strength grows, experts say these carriers will boost the navy’s range and versatility, from regional patrols in the East China Sea to complex drills across the Western Pacific. This evolution reflects broader trends in Asia’s security landscape, where naval power remains a key element of statecraft.
For young news enthusiasts, professionals, and students alike, this “three-carrier era” highlights how technological innovation meets strategic vision. Stay tuned to see how these giants of the sea shape future maritime security and international dynamics! 🌍🚀
