But the planned course of the Chinese aircraft carriers has raised eyebrows.
The Pratas is a South China Sea group of atolls controlled by Taiwan. Sending major warships through their waters would be significant intimidation by Beijing. The territorial ‘bubble’ offered by the Taiwanese islands has also been exploited by the US in recent weeks, with some 13 flights by intelligence-gathering aircraft over the area to monitor nearby Chinese activity.
“There are just 200 Taiwanese troops stationed on the Pratas, so it doesn’t make sense for the PLA to deploy an aircraft carrier strike group to take such a small island,” the Japanese defence official said.that the exercise was instead part of an overall scheme to militarise the East and South China Sea region.
Us is not equal to Australia... Don't bunch these two countries together.
In August next year, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CCP. I expect Taiwan to see trouble then.
Surely you jest.
absolutely. australia is china's enemy.....no busienss with enemies like australia and usa.

🔰🇧🇷🇦🇺🇺🇸🇹🇼🇯🇵🇮🇱🔰🤜🏻
The ski junp carriers are 1970 spec Russian carriers. They are junk
It’s time for the world to stop being naive about China’s accelerating hegemonic ambitions and stand firm to oppose them. Otherwise we all might as well gift our sovereignty away.
The more the monkey climbs up the pole more of its ass is seen! China is at such a vulnerable and sinking position right now and if they wanna survive they must stop flexing their muscles all around the world! C’mon surrender 🌎
Why wouldn't they? No one is going to challenge them, not really. Oh there may some huff and puff. China is finally where it wants to be... at the top. US is becoming a spent force, nice work Trump, there's no one to bother them. Hitting HK right now, in this climate says it all!
All show, no go. The fact is, China has no military experience. They've lost every major war they've been in in the last hundred years, maybe more.
Chinese ship go glub glub glub
Old Soviet era tubs. No issue.
g2thejizzy that Chinese battle ship would be as reliable as a chocolate radiator
They’re made in China...what’s the panic
Of course they have. If they were to attack they'd use a bio weapon anyway. It's all show.

Whomever is making these stupid decisions should be forced to watch a few hours of Neighbours. It won't help them make better decisions - but should nonetheless teach them a lesson.
China is a strong military power which can protect Australia. Australia should get away from US and join China which can also buy your farms & mines and build infrastructure for you. Aussies can enjoy lives & Chinese do the hard work for you.
Fuck China
China has the right to build them...the current school yard bully of the United state have over 10 of them
Put two aircraft carriers at South China sea is to stoke tensions with the US and ultimately, Australia, WTF Australia? How would you spin the story if we send them to gulf of Mexico?
The US has a couple of battle groups sailing around the SCSea, Air Force bases practically encircling China yet China's the aggressors for launching a couple of new AC carriers to defend their waters.
Hope China runs out of money and fuel for its navy. A bully on the high seas is not wanted in this world.
It’ll fall apart after a week..
Talk about idiocy. Xi jinping's lifelong, self loathing temper tantrum may culminate in his swift demise. What a way to go! Crappy planning, Xi.
Luckily we have our own aircraft carrier hey..
Right back at cha, CCP. Xi can stick it in his ear.
It’ll sink..It’s MADE IN CHINA
Nothing more threatening than a boat with a ski ramp on the front of it
Xi is very power hungry.
You guys, the lot of you will burn in hell.
And as predicted. Just as restrictions lifting, here comes the threats of war. My oh my, a little bit predicable don't ya think people? These guys are clearly reading from a well used script, which by now must be completely weathered and falling apart. FFS
Time to bomb the fuck out of it.
