China has transferred its newly built aircraft carrier into the water. The aircraft carrier was launched in the Dalian shipyard in the province of Liaoning on Wednesday morning.
The ceremony took place amid the growing tensions in the region: the US-North Korea confrontation, the US deployment of THAAD anti-missile system in South Korea and the continued crisis in the South China Sea.
Now, the People’s Liberation Army Navy officially has two aircraft carriers.
