Global Times: UK sends 'less-capable' warships to Asia-Pacific, 'no threat to PLA'
Presence politically significant, no match for China’s basic combatants: experts
With two offshore patrol vessels setting out from a UK naval base on Tuesday, the country reportedly started to permanently station its warships in the Asia-Pacific region, at a time when the US is rallying its allies to the region in an attempt to confront and contain China.
Armed with only light weapons, the UK ships are only showing off their presence after Brexit and making political statements that the UK bows to the lead of the US.
And just like the ongoing tour of the HMS Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier to the region, these vessels cannot yield any military significance or become a real threat to the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), Chinese analysts said on Tuesday.

Don't force the vaccine on me
Don't coerce me to take a drug, or I will see you as an uninformed aggressor trying to hurt me and I will react in self defence accordingly
Face masks spread covid19, with notions that Covid19 was indeed man made as a weapon, and in China is pretty obvious facemask usages was an area of concern in its creation.
Globally is obvious that those with facemask usage have larger spread rates, even the basic science highlights this aswell as delta outbreaks in countires like AUS and NZ that have implemented facemask usaged slowly over time and are both now in the grasp of spreading outbreaks.
As for China mocking the UK, the UK is not there to start a fight, and if we considering fishing vessels in the likes of the Philiopines these ships are more then enough to make a statement and combat issues.
Fact of the matter is the UK is not alone, and end of the day can unleash a nuclear attack if provoked into a fight. More importantly no western fleet is dedicated to antiship warfare, literally every western navies surface fleets are dedicated to anti air and anti missile. The offensive arm is of strike aircraft inwhich the UK carrier has the biggest fleet of stealth strike fighters backed up by US carriers filled with F18's while China can't even put a plane on the deck of is carriers without stealing other peoples designs *cough Russia
End of the day the UK are not there to be a threat, they are there so highlight that if anything happens they will know about it and respond. Dont see any Chinese ships off the Britsh Coast.
Global Time is becoming as funny as Erdogan.
