The aircraft carrier Liaoning of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) navy flew more than 100 sorties in six days in a series of drills near Japan and Taiwan.

中国人民解放军（PLA）海军的辽宁号航空母舰六天内在日本和台湾岛附近进行了一系列演习，共出动了100多架次。

 

In a press conference on 11 May, Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said that the drills involved flights by Shenyang Aircraft Corporation J-15 fighter jets of the PLA navy plus helicopters conducting anti-submarine warfare (ASW) operations.

日本防卫大臣岸信夫在5月11日的新闻发布会上表示，演习涉及解放军海军沈阳飞机公司J-15战斗机和执行反潜战（ASW）作战的直升机。

 

The drills, spanning a week from May 3 to 9, took place about 160 to 230 km southwest of Okidaito Island in Japan's Okinawa Prefecture and about 160 km south of Japan's Ishigaki Island. Drills south of Ishigaki Island took place about 335 km east of Taiwan.

这次演习从5月3日到9日持续了一周时间，在日本冲绳县冲大岛西南约160至230公里处和日本石垣岛以南约160公里处进行。石垣岛以南的演习在台湾岛以东约335公里处进行。

 

“The activities of the Chinese military this time may be aimed at improving the carrier's operational capability and enhance its ability to carry out operations at more distant littoral and aerial ranges,” Kishi said.

岸信夫说：“中国军方这次的活动可能是为了提高航母的作战能力，增强其在更远的沿海和空中范围开展作战的能力。”。
