Carrier CNS Shandong arrives in HK for maiden visit

The escort fleet underscores China's shipbuilding prowess.

For example, the Yan'an, named after a revolutionary base in Northwest China, features stealth and hypersonic missile capabilities, though it is not open to the public this time.

Meanwhile, the Zhanjiang — nicknamed Chinese Shield — and Yuncheng, a veteran of anti-piracy missions, reflect the navy's global operational reach.

The Ministry of National Defense has said that the visit aims to demonstrate military modernization achievements and the country's commitment to national security.

Hong Kong legislators have praised the event as a "living patriotic lesson" highlighting China's military and industrial advancements.
