Chinese Warships Sail Near US Ally Into North Pacific

China has expanded its naval presence in the North Pacific after one of its spy ships was spotted transiting a waterway between Japan's main islands, according to a report. Regarding China's maritime activities around Japan, the country's Ministry of Defense said on Monday that it will continue to conduct surveillance and gather intelligence.

China has built the world's largest navy by hull count, with more than 370 ships and submarines, allowing the East Asian power to expand its military presence and reach by deploying warships, including two aircraft carriers, to challenge U.S.-led alliances in the Pacific.
