In America's new Navy everything is sterile and over regulated but there is a dark side to it. No hitting, no smoking no nothing... but this is not necessarily a good thing because boys will still be boys. It's all a facade. There is an ominous side to it. All that pent up stress don't just disappear. Rapes, abuse etc still occur and many incidents are covered up.

Therein lies the difference between eastern and western cultures. Even in 90s, when Chinese armies and navies were overseas (albeit in a much smaller way), they were separated from the locals with only managed interactions. Whereas US, for example, armed forces are allowed to go out and mix with the locals. This invariably means the entertainment centres and brothels and associated conflicts. You can see Vietnam, Philippines and Okinawa as examples. While the western outlook is that these men needs to let out stress and bad things will happen if these stress are bottled. I am unable to say this also happens to Asian armed forces but traditionally those stresses are meant to be suppressed. But perhaps now it has become politically incorrect?

Very good publicity for Chinese

A good move by China to showcase its naval prowess

All in all 10/10 for this move
