A U.S. aircraft carrier group led by the USS Theodore Roosevelt has entered the South China Sea to promote 'freedom of the seas', the U.S. military said on Sunday, at a time when tensions between China and Taiwan have raised concern in Washington.

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.

Amerika needs a stern slap on the ass from China real soon 😂

US MSM: US THE guardian of world peace.

China is not going to like it

China should deploy carrier group to the Caribbean.

The US should be careful before declaring war to us to protect Taiwan. They would disrupt the world economy. Is it worth it ? In PPP our budget is rougly 450 billions but we only protect our land and have to focus on Taiwan when the US spends a little bit more ...

Stay safe members of our Navy! Especially those aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt!! Go Navy!

Anyway if they enter the Taiwan Strait we will sink it with ballistic missiles.

The Chinese narrative is that “this escelates tensions” and you will see their 50 cent army posting that in comments yet this is the only counter to their salami slice tactics of bullying and slowly seizing control of more territory against international law.

With all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

well China isn't Iran. They are one of the top 3 superpowers. So these actions will escalate the tension in the region. Let US handle the domestic terrorism first.

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.

It’s been less than a week...

IndoPacific🤣

Trumps four years of peace and peace treaties will be missed and appreciated more every day

That looks imposing.
