Warzone/The Drive: British And Chinese Aircraft Carriers Both Underway In The Tense South China Sea
The British flagship, HMS Queen Elizabeth, has entered the South China Sea for the first time.
Satellite imagery has emerged that indicates that the U.K. Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth is underway in the South China Sea while the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy flattop Shandong is also in these waters, though the two ships look to be sailing on opposite sides of the disputed body of water, at least for now. The appearance of the British flagship in the South China Sea had been anticipated, but it still carries a significant message as the United Kingdom and its allies look to further challenge China’s expansive territorial claims in this region.
Using satellite imagery provided by the European Space Agency and NASA/U.S. Geological Survey, Twitter user @duandang appears to have located the two aircraft carriers in the South China Sea, separated by around 580 nautical miles of water. The Shandong looks to be underway just south of Hainan Island, where it is home-ported within a huge People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) base. Meanwhile, the imagery indicates that HMS Queen Elizabeth is between the coast of Vietnam, to the east, and the island of Borneo to the west.

WNU Editor: Beijing is making its opposition to the presence of these British warships very clearly ....

China threatens British warships and vows hostile welcome in disputed sea (Mirror).
The Royal Navy is a sad husk of its former self. In a shooting war, these ships would be sunk in minutes.
ReplyDeleteComrade Xi and the heroes of the PLA will choose the correct time and place for an appropriate response to the quaint British running dogs. Their time is almost up.
Doing some early chicken counting aren't we.

ReplyDeleteThe Chinese launch the equivalent of a French navy every year. These "the Chinese are paper tigers" is an old story just as the story that they only copy is old. Ice been many times to China, and our countries , including the USA, looks more and more like the "old country".. China is advancing in many areas and leading in many.. patents filed, fastest super computer, robotics, many field of engineering including building the most massive super structures, super ships etc because we outsourced it all thanks to mckinsey who invented the term and to this day consult all western governments into oblivion, dependency and tyranny.
In short..our systems are fucked and have been fcked for so long and we are falling behind due to corrupt politicians who now use lockdowns to destroy our economies and cover up their massive crimes, from collusion with McKinsey and others to empty our koffers and enrich their other consulting clients, the oligarchs from west to east who absorbed all public money and are now ushering in tyranny through covid passports.
Anyone who pushes the covid vaccines and the passports is your enemy. The lockdowns will never end. It's a takeover and China's in on it. Their oligarchs and our oligarchs are colluding and trying to enslave us all under a tyranny and social credit model similar to China's.
We must absolutely hang people who collude to push these vaccines, according to the Nurnberg codes or this tyranny will never end as the Chinese model spreads

ReplyDeleteA lot of movies, but not all are dated. Person grows up, has some ideas along the way and becomes a director or writer. It shows in the movies. The idea of crime, policing and everything else is about 20 or 30 years dated. That is Hollywood. It happens to politicians and the general public.
Do we want to be shocked by China like we were shocked by the Jap Zero?
Austin is fucking cad. Cut the budget destroy moral with CRT while putting u-p a brave front to China. The boy is not fit for Maduro's old job. He is unqualified even to be a cad.
The US must urgently address what happened during the election.. Twitter now removed all accounts tweeting on the election integrity audit.. they're going full tyranny
ReplyDeleteIf China can make up it's own rules regarding the use of international waters today, what happens if/when it completely dominates the South China Sea? No doubt it will expand it's foreign policy of "crush every flower, slap the smile off every child's face."
ReplyDeleteChina will not do anything: British is NATO member.
ReplyDeleteAmazing the intelligence you can get with spaceforce and US marines onboard. With F22's flying out of Guam and 5th and 7th Carrier strike forces nearby this the lastest most advanced carrier filled with F35s British specical services and helicopters is just blasting across the world making huges waves. Rather amusing when HMS Defender rolled up in the Black Sea and upset the Russians, of course the Russians are no match for Britsh sea power. As for China with its 3 carriers, the UK with its two. Maybe China thinks it could go toe to toe but according to war records the UK and US were flying stealth jets while Chinas flying helicopters. Think before you know it that Chinese carrier would by flying a British flag.
