China's third aircraft carrier, the Fujian, is making smooth progress in its maritime live-force training since it was commissioned, said a defense spokesperson on Thursday.

Speaking at a press conference in Beijing, Jiang Bin, spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense, made the remarks when responding to a media inquiry about whether the aircraft carrier's training missions were progressing smoothly, after the Taiwan region claimed at the end of 2025 that the vessel had sailed northward through the Taiwan Strait for the first time since its commissioning.

The spokesperson said that since its commissioning, the Fujian has been conducting various training exercises according to plans, continuously moving toward the goal of developing a formation system combat capability.
