Chinese State Media Suggests Warships Will ‘Soon’ Sail Near Hawaii
As tensions simmer in the Pacific between the United States and China, the two rivals are publicly trading barbs over their respective military conduct at sea. On Sunday, the Department of Defense released photos of an encounter between Chinese navy ships near the Aleutian Islands off Alaska and two U.S. Coast Guard Cutters — including the Hawaii-based Kimball. A military press release, which has since been taken down from military websites, described the interaction as “safe and professional with verbal communications.”
