Taiwanese media: Liaoning ship passed the Taiwan Strait tonight, and it is rare to open the automatic ship identification system.
According to the AIS system, at about 7:10 tonight, the Liaoning ship sailed west to south along the "Taiwan Strait Center" at 115 nautical miles west-northwest of Hengchun, with a course of 190 degrees and a speed of 1.2 knots. guess.
It is understood that the Liaoning ship passed several times west of the "Straits Central Line" in the past, and even took off and landed at night. The Taiwan authorities declared "everything is under control" almost every time. Taiwanese media said that it is rare to open the AIS system casually this time and deliberately expose its location to the outside world.

Taiwan MoD just denied this report:
- announcement is in Chinese. Website has English version but I can't find exact one in English. Bing translation:
"Press release
In response to media reports that the Liaoning passed through the Taiwan Strait tonight, the Ministry of Defense declared that this was a false message and did not correspond to the facts.
The Ministry of Defense stressed that the Taiwan Army, using joint investigation and surveillance as a joint investigation, can fully grasp the situation around the Taiwan Strait, with immediate response. There is no anomaly at this time, please rest assured that the public."
p.s. My small whining: at an era of enormous fake news on internet, quite publishing media is NOT that reliable, either. I mean: if I can verify this news easily, those reporters could have done a better job...

Taiwan says Chinese carrier group drills close to island
TAIPEI (Reuters) - A Chinese naval flotilla led by the country's first aircraft carrier passed by the eastern and southern coasts of Taiwan on Sunday to carry out drills, the island's defence ministry said, in the latest uptick in military tensions.
Democratically-ruled Taiwan, claimed by China as its sacred territory, has complained of an increased Chinese military presence near the island in the past few weeks, and has told China is should be concentrating on fighting the new coronavirus rather than menacing the island.
Taiwan's Defence Ministry said the Liaoning, China's first operational aircraft carrier, and five accompanying warships passed first through the Miyako Strait, located between Japan's islands of Miyako and Okinawa, to the northeast of Taiwan, on Saturday.
On Sunday, the carrier group sailed in waters on Taiwan's east coast and then into seas to the south of Taiwan, carrying out exercises, the ministry added in a statement.
Taiwan's armed forces monitored the carrier group's progress throughout and "completed relevant actions in response to ensure national security and protect regional peace and stability", it added, without elaborating.
Taiwan typically scrambles fighter jets in response to Chinese manoeuvres.
There was no immediate response from China's Defence Ministry.
China's two aircraft carriers are no strangers to the waters around Taiwan.
In late December, shortly before presidential and parliamentary elections in Taiwan, China's newest aircraft carrier, the Shandong, sailed through the sensitive Taiwan Strait, a move condemned by Taiwan as attempted intimidation.
The U.S. military has also been active in waters near Taiwan recently.
A U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Friday, the same day that Chinese fighter jets drilled in waters close to the island.
Taiwan is China's most sensitive territorial issue and a potential military flashpoint. China has never renounced the use of force to bring the island under its control.

Correct she arrive in Hainan today Why didn't she exercise in Yongsu island in SCS?
From Henri K blog
The aircraft carrier Liaoning and its escort ships arrived today in the South China Sea, passing through the Bashi Strait in southern Taiwan. It will be interesting to see if the group will first reach the base in Sanya, on the island of Hainan
