China warns military enthusiasts of imprisonment for sharing defence-related photos online

China's ministry of state security warned military enthusiasts that posting photographs of military equipment online could lead to up to seven years in prison. The ministry expressed concern that these images can compromise national security by revealing sensitive information about the progress of construction on warships and aircraft, as well as operational and technical specifics of Chinese military hardware. The warning specifically mentioned China's newest carrier, the Fujian, which is seen as a competitor to the US Navy's carriers.
