US Navy releases footage of close encounter with Chinese warship

A Chinese warship comes within 150 yards (137 meters) of a U.S. destroyer in the Taiwan Strait in "an unsafe manner," U.S. military officials say, as China blames the United States for "deliberately provoking risk" in the region.

Chinese: oh we fery fery sowwy. We can't see through our Chinese eyes

[peterutomo]

Can US Intel now also releases footage and/or declassify the information who was behind the Nord Stream pipeline attack, please?

[bonifaciosalamat]

Let the freedom of navigations and the international laws of the sea prevails in the West Philipine Sea.

When it's US warships they don't dare to use their military grade lasers :^)

This place is nearly 100 kilometers away from China and about 10, 000 kilometers away from Los Angeles

[stuartdando]

Captain probably couldn't see too well.☺☺

[johanncanon]

And that is what you call peace loving China

[SuperWabbo]

Very responsible action by the USN skipper to drop back and let them do their thing before powering back up. China has no excuse. These are international waters and China has NO Right legally or morally to behave like this.

[shyamkrishna]

It should have accelerated and split the Chinese ship in half

[clownman]

Probably the Chinese crew doesn't know how to navigate so they stick with the US ship.

[RedPixel]

send china a loud message, say a "torpedo warhead"...

[DJP-phyj]

Increase speed to 36kts.
Smile and wave at em boys, smile and wave.

GOOD JOB AND WELL DONE CHINA NAVY! this is the only language that the usa and his dog canada can understand!

[graphicart]

I hope that chinese government should strictly require their sailor to always put two matches sticks in thier eyes to widened thier field of view, so that the inevitable danger will be avoided by other professional sailors who are sailing in international

[Ghredle]

Reminds me of that conversation between the US aircraft carrier and the Irish light house

[williamgalicha]

These Chinese navy seems to think the whole Philippine sea or Taiwan strait is for them.

[jandrewrr]

The difference? America has the experience while China has all the trainings..

[mrscooterdave]

Just blow the Chinese ship out of the water then they get the message.

[Hafenkasper]

That wasn't close. The US ship is barely moving and sails Dead Slow Ahead. This is the minimum speed so that the ship does not lose control. That was completely unspectacular.

I really hope the Chinese do this in the Gulf of Mexico then see what the yanks have to say😊
