Once again China needs to send their war ships and destroyers near Alaska 😮

[herman]

Notice the US warship is really rusty but the Chinese one is shiny new. $800bn military budget but can't afford a paint job.😂

[ausabc]

Why the US military has been constantly circling around China. On the other hand, what would be the US response if Chinese warships were located near US waters？

[miguelr]

US ships aren't importing or exporting commerce, so why are they there 🤔

[reginaldlagrone]

You are a Canadian war ship in the South China Sea but you can not understand why people are acting aggressive.

[eplmait]

so china can do what they like in international waters, hahaha

U.S. warships frequently conduct "freedom of navigation" operations in the Indian Ocean, for instance, on April 7, 2021, near India's Lakshadweep Islands, intruding into India's exclusive economic zone. The U.S. Navy emphasizes that this operation was carried out "without seeking prior consent from India." India dares not respond.

freedom of navigation shouldn't include military navigation that threatens the peace of the region.

United States has invaded or fought in 84 of the 193 countries recognized by the United Nations and has been militarily involved with 191 of 193 – a staggering 98 percent. In fact, there are only three countries in the world America hasn't invaded or have never seen a U.S. military presence: Andorra, Bhutan, and Liechtenstein.

I think this report is very much misleading. The US military shouldn't be there to begin with, its not a trading vessel, its a military vessel. The US would have taken the same approach had it been the Caribbean, Alaska regions or anywhere near its border in spite of international agreements and without consequence, that's what any non allied military would do. We need peace, our children and grand children require peace.

I mean it makes sense what the Chinese guy said

[flodareltih]

India: we successfully crash our trains
US: we successfully crash our planes
China: we fail to crash

[joey]

That interception is far less aggressive than the fact that numerous US warships constantly sailing along China's coastline year after year for no good reason🤣🤣🤣 China should do the same and let US taste their own medicine

[ausabc]

Freedom of navigation is for commercial ships not for military warships to threaten other countries.
This video is misleading.

[lainfonet]

Obviously, Chinese warships are faster, more advanced, and have greater firepower than American warships. Chinese soldiers are braver.

[bitoyabad]

what if China and Russia will do military exercise in the Gulf of Mexico or Near The coast of California

[robertkabanza]

Free navigation is not open to all ships. Not war ships. The black sea is not open to NATO war ships. The USA should reflect and judge what's good for our safety on this earth.

[manmanman]

Man that was close... let me quote Homer J. Simpson:

[Khagenkahani]

Why can't you say American were close to chinese.. Of course that is chinese territory so why Yanks went there and what's the purpose..

[MrCottonlion]

Come on, the US electronic reconnaissance aircraft is only 50 km from the chinese coastal city. What would happen if the Chinese electronic reconnaissance aircraft only 50 km from any City in the US?
