China has been hit with the worst flooding in over 100 years and they concern themselves with territory they don't own instead of actually fixing their own problems lol
Perfect metaphor for the CCP

Sounds like China and USA have similar priorities.
This is the point. To divert the focus point.

Nobody owns the water, It's God's water
Im sorry you're getting downvoted. I appreciated your super troopers reference.
God is dead. We use the term international waters now.
Oh, the CCP showed up to accompany them. That's nice to know for anyone else thinking of making the trip solo. With such support, I expect we'll see more people making the sail without needing to worry.
And here I was under the impression that the CCP was all against China since it claimed ownership of the mainland bit. Maybe they'll give it back to China.
They were with US middle destroyer, so not exactly solo
I'm not touching you!

This is the best summary I could come up with:
As HMCS Ottawa entered the busy and strategically critical body of water at sunrise, it was flanked by three Chinese warships armed with missiles and torpedoes.
Canada made the journey along with the USS Ralph Johnson, a U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer, in what both countries describe as a freedom of navigation exercise.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin told a June news conference that China is firmly determined to defend its sovereignty and security and regional peace and stability.
During the crossing, CBC News journalists saw that firsthand, with hundreds of cargo vessels leaving Chinese and Taiwanese ports bound for international destinations.
But Yuki Tatsumi, co-director of the Stimson Center's East Asia program, a Washington think-tank, says Canada's involvement rejects that thinking.
The Canadian frigate is on a nearly five-month deployment and is now plying the South China Sea, through which more than $4.6 trillion in cargo, a third of all global trade, passes each year.
