U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said in a statement the strike group entered the South China Sea on Saturday, the same day Taiwan reported a large incursion of Chinese bombers and fighter jets into its air defence identification zone in the vicinity of the Pratas Islands. “After sailing through these waters throughout my 30-year career, it’s great to be in the South China Sea again, conducting routine operations, promoting freedom of the seas, and reassuring allies and partners,” Rear Adm. Doug Verissimo, commander of the strike group, was quoted as saying.

US carriers constantly patrol waters around the planet, this is nothing out of the ordinary. Also Carriers are never alone. Its surrounded by a fleet of destroyer war ships and a submarine you can’t even see so...lol

If they are there to back up Taiwan then I am all for it. Last thing we want is Jinping thinking he can get away with sending the troops in.

China must destroy the bully called US. Joe Biden is nothing but a terrorist like Obama. Those that the media worship they are not good for humanity, wake up people.

That's great, China is a bully.

The US - up to its old tricks again... 🤔

Biden is a war mongerer just like Obama

Joe Biden is on mission to destroy the world

time to unify Taiwan province of China

Trust BIDEN/OBAMA at your own peril

US🇺🇸must stop provocations to🇨🇳China. It's irresponsible: for the🇺🇸US endanger today's multipolar🌍🌏🌎geopolitical stability& PEACE in bases to it's power struggle with🇨🇳China.

America is doing everything right.

RamliRizal Go JoeBiden don't lose with China!

That carrier was built using money borrowed from China. It's a convoluted world we live in. Nothing as simple as Pearl Harbor and two sides square off like boxers in the ring any more.

EnggalPMT I heard Chinese coast guard ships are allowed to open fire now. I hope they don't target U.S. carrier group as their shooting practice

Looks like an episode from DesignatedNFLX

The world needs to stop using China for cheaplabour and look else where. Hit China where it hurts. We don't need to put sanctions in place, just stop buying anything Chinese!!!

Dude JoeBiden POTUS... u are being made a fool of by those mfs, so get a grip on urself... CCPChina

Get ready for impact weenie the Pooh!

It's not a good choice for the new government. Stupid to make the noise around South China Sea.

Is China ‘angered’?

Meaningless posturing, like ranting before a ball game. What matters more are bigger issues. USA certainly needs to work with China closely on climate issues.

台湾紧张，也是美国搞的鬼

This looks like a crocodile.

welcome!

Fuck off US!!!

Congratulations! They found Formosa straits!

Putin said that he would drown before even one plane took off ....😜

Respect and understanding needed from All side.

AgapetusWamalwa China is growing to be a problem; the other time it was Australia & Hong Kong, then today Taiwan

カッコいーな😍

We don’t care,

Wtf are you the father of Taiwan, no I believe, wtf you are doing there. Go home and 😉

The man who saved the world from WWIII

ccp done fucked up

South China Sea belongs to all neighbors, not China. POTUS, please shoo the Chinese away!

flexing muscles means you have muscles and that's all, it doesn't mean you can win the WAR which is way more complicated.

Excellent !

Why is it any of US' business?

Tom Clancy.

China has passed a law that for the first time explicitly allows its coastguard to fire on foreign vessels, a move that could make the contested waters around China even more volatile.

Soon the U.K. will be there 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Glad to see that democrats answers to China with power.

ALL WAYS SHOWING OFF do nothing

Closer for ww3, or for killing Covid ?
