The US military is planning a serious showdown with China that would be a significant show of force on tense tides and involve American warships and aircraft
businessinsider.com
The US Pacific Fleet has proposed a series of exercises for November that would see American warships and aircraft demonstrating US military might in disputed waterways in a message to Beijing, CNN reported Wednesday afternoon, citing several defense officials.
While one official reportedly characterized the plans as "just an idea," others indicated that the proposal, which already has an operational name, is being circulated at various levels of the military.
Assuming the plan is approved, the operations would be carried out over the course of a week...
Twice last week, the US sent B-52H Stratofortress heavy long-range bombers tearing through the South China Sea. Those flights were immediately followed by a joint military exercise in which a US B-52 bomber joined forces with Japanese fighter jets over the East China Sea and Sea of Japan.
China called the flights "provocative," warning the US that it would take "necessary measures" to defend Chinese national interests. Several days later, the Chinese military conducted "live-fire shooting drills" in the South China Sea.
On Sunday, the US Navy's Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer conducted a freedom-of-navigation operation near the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea. During the routine operation, a Chinese Luyang II-class guided-missile destroyer confronted the US warship.
The Chinese vessel, according to the Pacific Fleet, engaged in "increasingly aggressive" behavior. The Chinese ship nearly collided with the US destroyer during the exchange, which was described as "unsafe and unprofessional."
