Five Chinese Navy Ships Are Operating in Bering Sea Off Alaska Coast
 

Five Chinese navy ships are currently operating in the Bering Sea, off the coast of Alaska, the first time the U.S. military has seen such activity in the area, Pentagon officials said Wednesday.

The officials said they have been aware in recent days that three Chinese combat ships, a replenishment vessel and an amphibious ship were in the vicinity after observing them moving toward the Aleutian Islands, which are split between U.S. and Russian control.

They said the Chinese ships were still in the area, but declined to specify when the vessels were first spotted or how far they were from the coast of Alaska, where President Barack Obama is winding up a three-day visit.

?This would be a first in the vicinity of the Aleutian Islands,? one defense official said of the Chinese ships. ?I don?t think we?d characterize anything they?re doing as threatening.? The Pentagon official confirmed that the five ships were operating in international waters.

They're just pickin' up the interest payments on the U.S. national debt.

As long as they don't start building a new island to add to the Aleutians...

They are celebrating this week for their victory over Japan finally. They are putting on big shows all over China and I am sure flexing their biceps for everyone else to see.

That giant slingshot looks formidable.

Reading this I've recalled one geographical fact. Most of people don't even know that the shortest distance between Russia and the USA is less than 4 kilometers. Theoretically we could build a bridge or tunnel to be able to travel on a car from one continent to another :)

It's sort of funny that you mention that. Sarah Palin, as dumb as she is, made a reference to what you are talking about once. She was slaughtered because of it, LOL. A little geography.
