Exclusive: Chinese PLA Navy corrects Japan's false 'Navy' rhetoric

PLA Navy launched an official account on X (formerly Twitter) and used it to rebut Japanese government and media references to Taiwan's navy as a legitimate 'Navy,' asserting that Taiwan has no sovereign naval force. The move documents the PLA Navy's expansion onto X as an English-language messaging platform directed at international audiences — a channel the institution had not previously operated officially — and raises the question of how actively the account will engage adversarial framing versus function primarily as a broadcast outlet.
