Newsweek: China Submarines Used U.K. Warships for Target Practice, State Media Claims
China's nuclear-powered submarines may have been using the U.K.'s aircraft carrier group for target practice before intentionally revealing themselves to British warships, a Communist Party newspaper said on Monday.
The report by the state-owned tabloid the Global Times cited unnamed experts in a direct response to a report out of London claiming the Chinese submarines had been detected "stalking" the Queen Elizabeth Carrier Strike Group (CSG) during its deployment to Asia.
The Daily Express reported on Monday that sonar operators onboard HMS Kent and HMS Richmond, two frigates that form part of HMS Queen Elizabeth's escort fleet, detected a pair of PLA Navy Type 093 submarines shadowing the carrier group from the South China Sea into the Western Pacific.

Other than score a few short-lived political points at home, I don't know what Britain was hoping to achieve strategically by sending a couple ships to the S China Sea where they were totally outmatched. To prove they could "still do it"? They should have waited to combine with a larger US or multinational force. As it is, it probably proved more tactically and strategically valuable for the Chinese navy than for the British.
Comrade Xi, you know what to do.
Please nuke London.
I'm a little bit tired of the Chinese propaganda. But, after all, I have to rein myself because it is always interesting to know the enemy.
Xi have tiny ballz
