O ciclone Champi, classificado como um supertufão e considerado uma das tempestades mais intensas do ano, provocou sérios transtornos em diferentes pontos da Ásia. Taiwan emitiu um alerta à população diante da aproximação da tempestade, enquanto ilhas do sudoeste do Japão já registravam ventos fortes e ondas elevadas.

O fenômeno se aproxima dos países asiáticos com ventos de quase 230 km/h. Além de Taiwan e Japão, o ciclone também deve atingir a costa chinesa, ampliando o alcance dos impactos na região.

Impactos aéreos e em exercícios militares

Diante da ameaça da tempestade, mais de 200 voos foram cancelados ao todo nos dois países. Companhias aéreas japonesas suspenderam mais de 100 voos a partir da quinta-feira (22) até domingo. Mais de 11 mil passageiros já foram afetados pelos cancelamentos provocados pela passagem do ciclone.

A chegada da tempestade também obrigou os Estados Unidos e o Japão a interromperem os exercícios militares que estavam sendo realizados no mar. A decisão evidencia a gravidade do fenômeno e a amplitude de seus efeitos sobre as operações na região.

The deployment follows exercises announced in May, as Taiwan reports detecting 13 Chinese military aircraft near its territory.

On Wednesday, the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) announced the deployment of a carrier strike group led by the aircraft carrier Liaoning to the western Pacific for military drills, marking a new training mission in the region following exercises announced in May.

The PLA said the drills are part of its annual training plan and aim to improve unit readiness “under real combat conditions.” It also said the exercises comply with international law and “are not directed against any country or specific target.”

The announcement did not specify the composition of the carrier strike group or the exact waters of the western Pacific where the drills would take place. It also did not provide their duration or the planned activities.

The Liaoning, the oldest of China’s three operational aircraft carriers, was deployed to the same region in May, when the PLAN announced drills that included tactical flights over open water, live-fire exercises, and search-and-rescue operations.

In June 2025, the Liaoning and the aircraft carrier Shandong completed simultaneous deployments lasting more than a month in the western Pacific. During that period, they conducted combat drills and joint operations with other military units.

On Wednesday morning, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said it had detected 13 Chinese military aircraft in succession near its territory, including J-16, J-11 and Su-30 fighter jets.

Eleven of those aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait and entered the northern, central and southwestern sectors of Taiwan’s self-declared Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) to conduct a “joint combat readiness patrol” with PLAN vessels. It was the third such patrol in just over a week.
