On the afternoon of June 26th, the Ministry of National Defense held a regular press conference, and the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, answered questions from reporters. Reporter Zhang Zhicheng: According to reports, the sea trial work of the Fujian ship is steadily advancing as planned, and the era of the Chinese Navy's three aircraft carriers is approaching. Does this mean that the service life of China's third aircraft carrier, Fujian, is approaching? What role will the three aircraft carrier formations play in maintaining overseas interests and regional stability? Zhang Xiaogang: Building a powerful modern navy embodies the century old aspiration of the Chinese nation. We have always promoted the construction of aircraft carriers based on national security needs and equipment technology development. From the initial stage of poverty and backwardness, to the service of the Liaoning and Shandong aircraft carriers with ski jump takeoff, and to the Fujian aircraft carrier with electromagnetic catapult capability, the People's Navy's aircraft carrier construction has continuously achieved leapfrog development. It should be emphasized that our development and improvement of weapons and equipment are entirely aimed at safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and development interests. The Chinese military is a steadfast force in maintaining world peace, and the more we develop, the more powerful the peace force that constrains war becomes. (New Society)
