China sent the third largest fleet to RIMPAC this time. Only U.S. and Canada sent more ships.
PLA Navy news, pics and videos
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
Joint maneuvers between the Chinese Navy and the US Navy. Note the flag sizes, especially the one on the Chinese replenishment ship; good lord, you can use it to cover an Olympic size pool.
All images are high-resolution, as usual.
'My flag is bigger than your flag ...ner ner ner!' Don't they know ..? its not the size of your flag , but how you wave it that counts

I don't think so, Chinese won't send the best DDG to a strategic competitor
I agree, PLAN will send 052D after they get 055 LOL.
Personally, I will be really excited if PLAN decide to send 052D to RIMPAC, one of 052D is named by my hometown. It also means PLAN has confidence to show their best ships to America, I mean, we showed our carrier to America (Of course it is much worse than US carriers, but 052D also worse than Burke), so why don't we show 052D to the United States,too?

052Ds are also high demand assets. Sending them away for two months is asking for a lot from any of the Fleets.

Article reads like neocon/liberal-imperialist talking points to gin up the China threat for bigger military budgets. Least we forget, not long ago, these people said PLA was weak and ineffective beyond China's borders, and any major conflict would result in "million men swim."
Facts are PLA is still decades behind the US alliance, and Chinese leaders admit it.
