Washington Amid ongoing unrest in Hong Kong, Chinese officials have rejected a US request to have two US Navy ships make port visits there in the coming weeks.
"The Chinese Government denied requests for port visits to Hong Kong by the USS Green Bay and USS Lake Erie, which were scheduled to arrive in the next few weeks," Cmdr. Nate Christensen, the deputy spokesman for the US Navy's Pacific Fleet, told CNN in a statement on Tuesday.The amphibious transport dock ship USS Green Bay was scheduled to visit Hong Kong on August 17 and the guided missile-cruiser USS Lake Erie was scheduled to visit next month.
Let China handle the situation as they see fit.
We do not belong there, PERIOD. Sovereignty needs to be respected, for ALL nations. US stay OUT when not invited. This is no more a 'humanitarian crisis' than those choosing to rush to our shores. A WANT from a group of citizens should not equate to the 'right' to destroy.
They know if we helped their protestors it would be over in a day
Let Trump go there China loves him and he will make the greatest deal ever.
