For the first time, China staged a show of force with two aircraft carrier fliers.
Taking advantage of the U.S. presidential election, we are preparing for a real battle to gain a local advantage in the Taiwan Strait.
This is Beijing correspondent Kang Jeong-gyu.

China's first and second aircraft carriers, Liaoning and Shandong, cross the South China Sea side by side.
There are only 11 vessels followed by destroyers and frigates, and 32 fighter jets exposed on the screen.
In particular, the scene of carrying an improved Zen-15B fighter on a flight deck and operating it was first revealed.
It is a show of force against the successive passage of the Taiwan Strait and the sale of weapons by Western warships, including the United States.

The training coincided with the relocation of U.S. aircraft carriers to Japan, which had been away for more than 100 days.
Considering the number of carriers with around 30 units per two carriers, at least on the scale, it is not behind.
The same goes for President Xi Jinping's first inspection of an ICBM into the Pacific Ocean in 44 years, and an "carrier killer" missile.
In other words, he showed off that he could make up for his lack of power with covering fire on the mainland.
Recently, we have been reorganizing our mobilization posture one by one, such as issuing a commentary order for the management of reserve forces.

Ahead of the presidential election, the U.S. is increasingly losing control of the war in Ukraine and the Middle East crisis.
In addition, the North Korean military's dispatch of troops to Russia and nuclear provocations seem to be increasing the power gap to check China.
