MPs Say UK Should Send Aircraft Carrier Through Taiwan Strait
The UK should send its aircraft carrier through the Taiwan Strait amid increasing tension in the area, according to some British MPs. However, experts have mixed views on how significant the gesture would be.
A British carrier is set to be deployed late next month to the Indo-Pacific region as part of a UK-led freedom of navigation operation. The long-anticipated voyage has been heralded as a warning against Beijing’s bullying of its neighbours in the South China Sea.
Robert Clark, a defence researcher at the Henry Jackson Society (HJS), said that the strategic messaging the carrier will send by going to the South China Sea is important.
