China protests U.S. Navy ship sailing in South China Sea

[F-22Raptor]

China says it has registered “stern complaints” with the U.S. over the latest mission by a U.S. Navy ship intended to challenge China’s claims of sovereignty over virtually the entire South China Sea.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang told reporters on Monday that China dispatched planes and ships to demand that the USS McCampbell leave waters around the Paracel Islands.

Lu said the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer was in the area Monday without China’s permission and “we have made stern complaints with the U.S.”

“Relevant actions by U.S. vessels violate Chinese and international laws, infringe on China’s sovereignty, and undermine peace, stability and good order in relevant waters,” Lu said.

“We will continue to take necessary measures to safeguard national sovereignty and security,” he said.

Despite China’s objections, the U.S. has kept up a steady pace of such actions, known as a freedom of navigation operations, or FONOPS.

China has sounded a positive note ahead of trade talks this week with Washington, but the two sides face potentially lengthy wrangling over technology and the future of their economic relationship.

Both sides have expressed an interest in settling their tariff fight over Beijing’s technology ambitions. Yet neither has indicated its stance has changed since a Dec. 1 agreement by Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping to postpone further increases.

From threat to complaint. Change of heart of paper dragon.

LOL stupid rednecks can't run their government, but think they can agitate China. Got owned by a bunch of Taliban and beg for talks. Nothing that comes out of the mouth of Trumpland can be taken seriously.

When is the wall going to built? When is Mexico going to pay for it? Don't divert and deliver on your promises.

China should have two navy bases, one in Venezuela and another in Cuba.

Then daily, sail real close to all the Amerikan oil rigs and see how the Amerkans like it. Since the zionists do it to the Chinese, the Amerikans must really like it then. Maybe three or four navy bases in each country for more patrol in the Gulf of Mexico to 'please' the zionists.

There are a thousand and one ways to make America pay for its transgression. China hasn't even started yet.

We will see what happens to the Afghan talks. China, Russia, Iran and Pakistan are all on one page. Just let these talks go off the rails... I have said it so many times. The entire neighborhood is rubbing their hands. We got some scores to settle.

China should increase their naval presence in the Pacific and atlantic oceans, preferably close to US mainland, under the same "freedom of navigation" pretext.

USN learned their lesson last time. Now they refrain from provocative actions. This is why the PLA did not issue a statement but only the foreign affairs ministry. We drew a baseline around the entire Paracel island group and the US doesn't like that.

"The Decatur was forced to change course to avoid a collision."

US warship is so brave? Why change courses, scared of our warning?

PLAN warhsip will continue cut US warship course in SCS. I wait for the day US warship has the guts to ram PLAN ship. Coward.

What international laws were violated? I only see China trollers here, in Beijing, in China foreign ministry. China occupation of Paracels is illegal. No country in the world accepts China occupation, least the illegal 9 dash fck line.

We do not ram ships. That is the tactic of amateurs.

You may be right.
US Professional naval ships wait for cargo and tanker ships to ram into them.
