The excursions of China's carrier battlegroup Liaoning, during the most recent exercise in the Western Pacific. The carrier battlegroup came within 618 km northwest of Guam (Distance Beijing to Guam: 4,030 - 4,050 km). On Dec. 25 the Liaoning was spotted 670 km (416 miles) southeast of Okinotorishima, before returning to the waters between Taiwan and Japan. By 2025, China can muster a fleet, capable of deterring US naval activities in the Western Pacific. By 2025, China will have 3 carriers in service: Carrier 16 Liaoning, Carrier 17 Shandong, and Carrier 18 Fujian. Another important milestone around 2025, will be the introduction of J-35 carrier-based stealth fighter.
