Speculation that China has sent 2 of its 3 aircraft carriers to the Taiwan Strait

China has 3 aircraft carriers in operation:

• the newest and most advanced is the Fujian
• the Liaoning
• & the Shandong

Reports are that the Liaoning aircraft carrier left Qingdao on July 31. The Shandong left Sanya on August 01.

Thats about it for what is known. What is speculated is the two are heading to the Taiwan Strait.
