Turns out the #us #submarine that #limpedhome the other day actually struck some #underwater #deepsea #mountain https://www.npr.org/2021/11/02/105142257.. This was in the #southchinasea - where #china 's #ccp was #demanding #details about the #us #navy 's #operations in the area.
Of course #china is interested in what the #us 's #submarines are doing in the #southchinasea https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c.. I suspect they would really love to know "the #exact #location of the #incident , the #purpose of this #trip , and details of what the submarine encountered," - it's very likely it is in direct #conflict with #chinese #interests ...
#china 's #ccp have #threatened the #uk after the #navy entered the #southchinasea on a #freedomofnavigation exercise en route to #japan https://www.lotuseaters.com/china-warns-.. They have warned that #british ships stay at least 12 nautical miles away from 'their' islands, despite the islands being entirely illegal to build in contested waters. Why on earth should we respect their claim to them?
