Gee, ya think China might be trying to send Taiwan some kind of, I dunno, some kind of message, or something?
In China sailors and civilians working on the former Russian aircraft carrier Varyag, report that the ship will soon be officially renamed to the Shi Lang (after the Chinese general who took possession of Taiwan in 1681…)

UPDATE: A suggestion that the Varyag be re-christened the Clinton instead. Ouch.
UPDATE #2: Sep 15, 2025 The Varyag was actually renamed the Liaoning, after the Chinese province in which it was refitted.
