A U.S. Navy warship sailed by islands claimed by China in the South China Sea on Wednesday in a freedom of navigation operation, marking the latest move by Washington to challenge Beijing's territorial claims in the contested waters.

The U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet said destroyer USS Russell “asserted navigational rights and freedoms in the Spratly Islands, consistent with international law.” China’s extensive territorial claims in the resource-rich waters have become a hot button issue in an increasingly testy Sino-U.S. relationship. The two countries are at odds over trade, the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, Hong Kong, Taiwan and accusations of human rights abuses against Uighur Muslims.

How much oysters in South China sea? Enough for everyone!人人家豪門

marrying into oyster-gate via the south China sea!嫁入豪門

No worries. Little humiliation.

Looking forward to some regime troll to make a case for why islands located roughly halfway between Vietnam and the Philippines should be China's. I'm all ears... 😂

US should help Philippines to build air strips and harbour on one of the islands in SCS!

The US simply buy out existing S Pacific Islands them militerise them and claim an exclusion zone.... Leave China alone you America warmongering opioid fueled regime

please remember: One day, when China is persecuted, China will no longer be patient, and the world will return to the Stone Age. China has the power that the world can destroy immediately. Blessing: The new world will come soon.

Who again said Joe Biden will be soft on China

China and Russia needs some Bi*chslapps

Why Vietnam is silent? Vietnam and Philippines could claim these islands.

Americans are going to destroy the whole world just because they don't want to be second behind China and we all get to cheer for them because we either hate China because they are so called communists or we been brainwashed from America movies to actually believe they are bad

I hope they will never go back to the U.S. next time they go to China

Ah. Pissing contests... Good old US war mongering.

China who? I dare they claim the EEZ of Indonesia, WW3 will start in the Natuna waters. China is stepping on int'l maritime laws. All countries have full rights to sink a Chinese vessel encroaching their waters. In the case of Indonesia they do not play victim, they swing back.

Either shit, or get off the pot. If the U.S. is going to do something about Chinese atrocities, then do it. Stop endangering U.S. citizens with a pointless pissing contest. Pretending we're going to contest China's claims over the Spratly islands is childish antagonism.

A US naval ship's pass by the Spratly Islands follows a joint exercise by two US carrier groups in South Chins Sea.

🇺🇸like to play with 🔥 . Careful it burns

oh great lets ramp up tensions with china a bit more💀🤦

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.

Biden just going for a visit....

:( Seems a problem.

diplomacy

And they said Biden is weak on China. SMH

Good work USA
