A piece of social platform X (formerly Twitter) went viral on Wednesday (November 11)中国Video of an accident involving a landing ship of the People's Liberation Army of China. Since it was reported last month that a Chinese nuclear submarine had a serious accident in August this year, causing heavy casualties, the severity and authenticity of the accident has aroused heated discussion.
According to comprehensive media reports, the video shows a large ship emitting a large amount of smoke at sea, with black smoke emitting from at least three places. It is estimated that there should be a problem with the main gun, carrier-based aircraft cabin and the stern of the ship. It is reported that the ship in the video is the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy's most advanced Type 3 integrated landing ship "Longhushan", which recently caught fire at sea. However, the news has not been officially confirmed by China, and it is unclear when and where the film will be filmed.
After the video was exposed, news immediately spread on the Chinese Internet claiming that the ship was actually conducting a drill and that there was no accident that caused the smoke to fly wildly.
「龍虎山號」為解放軍現役最新型綜合登陸艦，艦長210公尺、寬28公尺、最大排水量達2.9萬噸。該艦於2018年9月中旬起正式入列並服役。
According to previous reports, it was reported last month that China's Type 093 nuclear-powered submarine "Long March 15" had a serious accident in the Yellow Sea on August 8 this year, resulting in the death of 21 officers and soldiers on the submarine. The Beijing authorities failed to give a clear explanation. People from all walks of life are concerned about this. This is doubtful.
