Daily Mail: Three massive warships wow the crowds in Portsmouth, the home of the Royal Navy: It's just a pity they're CHINESE, not British
* Chinese ambassador and flag-waving UK-based Chinese residents welcome ships into Portsmouth Naval Base
* Formal visit from Chinese naval ships is aimed at enhancing military understanding between itself and Britain
* Assault ship Chang Bai Shan has been accompanied by frigate Yun Cheng and replenishment ship Chaohu
* Senior officers from both navies will discuss maritime topics during visit including counter-piracy operations
* Last year China increased its military budget by 12% to more than £86billion - compared to £33billion in the UK
WNU Editor: Impressive. Another sign that the Chinese are developing a Blue Navy as fast as they can.
