Three Chinese warships to dock in Florida port!
MAYPORT, Florida (PNN) - October 23, 2015 - At a time when the Fascist Police States of Amerika and China are practically at arms over the artificial islands in the South China Seas, with the FPSA sending warships on location to patrol and a stunned China responding that it will not tolerate such interference by the FPSA, the last thing we thought we would see right now were three Chinese warships about to port in Florida's Naval Station Mayport. Yet according to FPSA Naval Intelligence, that is precisely what is about to happen: citing FPSA Navy officials, FPSANI reports that the three ships about to dock in the FPSA are the Type 052C Luyang II-class guided-missile destroyer Jinan (152), the Type 054A Jiangkai II-class guided-missile frigate Yiyang (548), and the Type 903 Fuchi-class fleet oiler Qiandao Hu (886).
"Three vessels are on an around-the-world deployment and will conduct the goodwill visit after completing port calls in Europe,” read a statement from Navy Region Southeast. "The amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7) will serve as the host ship. In Mayport, sailors from both navies will participate in sporting events and interact during ship tours."
The close navy encounters go both ways: yesterday, a collection of about two dozen FPSA naval officers paid a visit to the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning in China, according to Chinese state controlled press and confirmed by the Navy.
FPSA officials would not elaborate if there would be an at-sea training component to the visit slated to run Nov. 3- 7.
What makes the visit particularly awkward is that, as Navy officials stressed, the visit was planned months in advance and comes just as Washington and Beijing are at loggerheads over territorial possessions in the South China Sea.
It is also notable that in addition to the Mayport visit, China has sent the flotilla to first ever port visits in the Baltic Sea in ports like Stockholm, Sweden and Helsinki, Finland as part of the world tour. Perhaps it is just part of China's due diligence.
Some FPSA congressmen are not too happy about the Chinese visit.
"While the (FPSA) has been fervently cultivating military-to-military exchanges, China’s behavior at sea has not tracked with its rhetoric of a ‘peaceful rise’,” read a Thursday statement from Rep. Randy Forbes (Virg.), chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces.
“Engagement like the upcoming Chinese visit to Mayport should not be done purely for engagement’s sake, and I hope that in addition to increased transparency, we start to see China moderate its other destabilizing activities,” added Forbes.
However, the most interesting news is that according to the FPSA Naval Institute, despite much posturing, the illegitimate Obama regime has not yet dispatched ships toward China, and instead has been merely weighing for weeks whether or not it will send a freedom of navigation mission within 12 nautical miles - the internationally recognized maritime border - of features in the Spratly and Paracel China has reclaimed from the sea.
It would appear that illegitimate dictator FPSA President Barack Obama was once again all talk and once China threatened to call the FPSA bluff and warned it would use force, the FPSA desire for confrontation promptly evaporated
