China sends an aircraft carrier to the Pacific Ocean and its media mock Corona's injuries within the US Navy

A report published by Newsweek magazine revealed that China sent an aircraft carrier to the Pacific Ocean, while the Chinese media mocked Corona's injuries in the navy ranks on four American aircraft carriers.

Newsweek said the first Chinese aircraft carrier sailed near the disputed waters of the Pacific Ocean.

According to the magazine, the Chinese state-owned media have praised the way the Chinese authorities responded to the Corona virus, while mocking the way the United States has dealt with the epidemic.

It added that Chinese People's Liberation Army spokesman Captain Gao Xiucheng said Monday that the Chinese aircraft carrier "Liaoning 001" and five accompanying warships crossed the Miyako Strait between the Ryukyu Islands and the Bashi Channel in eastern Taiwan towards the South China Sea as part of its "routine" exercises, in Framework to strengthen its military presence in the region, which sparked the interest of both Tokyo and Taipei.

Newsweek attributed to the Japanese Ministry of Defense its statement last Saturday that it is monitoring the Chinese maritime movements and controlling the stampede of Taiwan ships to monitor the exercises.

American carriers
The American magazine also quoted the Chinese Global Times as saying that the deployment of the Chinese carrier "Liaoning" highlights the importance of China's successful battle against Covid-19, especially at a time when sailors from the US aircraft carrier crews were suffering from the virus infection.

The Newsweek report indicates that the US Navy reported Monday that sailors from the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier died from the virus, adding that official records show that the United States suffers from corona infections more than any other country.

According to the magazine, the Global Times highlighted the conflicts of the US Department of Defense (the Pentagon) yesterday, Monday, in an editorial written by the director of the Center for Naval Strategic Studies at Peking University, "Hu Bo."

"He" says in his article that the failure of the US military to contain the Corona virus is disappointing, as it is the most powerful military force and has the highest level of combat readiness.

The US military failed
He attributes the failure of the US military to contain Corona for a number of reasons, including the large number of its personnel deployed abroad, the weak military-political ties and the lack of preparedness.

He adds that the essence of the problem lies in the fact that the US military faces a pandemic dilemma that is difficult to deal with, noting that the American army and intelligence realized early in the severity of the epidemic and took some measures to try to control, while warning the White House and the Pentagon repeatedly.

Newsweek adds that "Hu" called in the opening for "global cooperation" against the new coronavirus, but argued that "China will naturally expand the scope and intensity of its activity, that it will protect its maritime interests more firmly, and that it follows a more open and comprehensive international maritime security system."

The magazine's report indicates that the United States has the largest aircraft carrier fleet in the world, and that it has concentrated its naval power in the Asia Pacific region in recent years to monitor Chinese ambitions there.

China and Russia
"The United States will continue to support the efforts of its allies and partners, to ensure freedom of navigation and economic opportunities throughout the Indian and Pacific oceans," the magazine quoted the US Department of Defense as saying, noting that the Covid-19 epidemic emphasizes the importance of a rules-based international order, because It outlines conditions for us to address this common threat in a transparent, focused and effective manner.

"Our ships and tankers continue to serve and deploy throughout the world, and they are ready to carry out missions across a full range of fleet operations, to protect US national interests and the interests of our allies, even in this crisis," US Navy spokeswoman Lieutenant Megan Isaacs said in a statement sent to Newsweek last Thursday. .

Newsweek concluded its report with a reference to a CIA document released late last month that described a possible global shift in power in favor of China and Russia, as the United States has retreated to contain the epidemic at home.
