After welcoming ceremony, the destroyer squadron launched a mock naval-amphibious landing. The squadron will be deployed to Africa in coming weeks. :) hint*** The squadron has Rikusentai on board. ;) ;) おお！堂々の上陸！:wub:

She is commander of a destroyer squadron force. Thanks ! Hehehe, her grandfather was a WW2 hero. She has Samurai blood in her veins, my friend. :devil:

Well, the rise of the contender, Jejomar Binay, as the Presidential hopeful in the Philippines , will be an asset to not only China, but to Japan. Clearly the recent anti-China rhetoric from Aquino have led largely to unpopularity in the Philippines. In fact the main contenders for Malacanang...

日本にも女性艦長がいるのだ。きりりと引き締まり美人ですね。敬礼の姿頼もしい限りです。。。。。。。

Sure, that's all fine and dandy. The point we would like to stress is that the JSDF welcomes, with full arms, the arrival of China in this corridor. More partners, the better. :) China is Japan's "New Obsession", so to say. :smitten:

Yes precisely. Tho China will substantially increase their base , I believe it will be a naval- air base . But capacity will be large; enough to handle a brigade force for stationing. Ours can hold up to 2 regiments . I believe China will be larger than ours.

The CPC adheres to the mandate of incremental, progressive growth. Military growth is adjuvant with economic and demographic growth. So even if her defense expenditure is ~1.2-1.3%, it still is one of the largest in Asia. China is not an interventionist nation and does not have armies and fleets...

And I may add, the US is expected to leave Djibouti. ;)

Despite the western media's portrayal of China as aggressive, we have to really appreciate how calm Beijing and Taipei have been. In fact we should appraise how Beijing's size has restrained Hanoi's own ambitions to the militarily weak position of Manila. I believe that if Beijing did not show...

I don't it's necessary to talk like this, my friend. China's national territorially can still be preserved without hostility. We should pay attention to the Filipino presidential election; many of the front runners in Manila seem to have broken away from the hallmark anti-Chinese politic of...

Yes! Actually the location of the Chinese base will be , literally, next to ours. LOL. Hey there neighbor ! I suppose the PLAN will maintain a permanently deployed destroyer squadron here. I suppose anywhere between 1-2 squadrons. Would love to see more of those Jiangkai Class IIs!

Waiting for the pictures !

Huy ngano na sukusuku man na si Cossack ? Hmm, do they also claim part of Kalimantan ?

Enjoy your trip !

It will be in undisputed waters, I believe. That is fine as it is a continuation of Malabar. I don't think our side would agree to conducting naval exercise in contested waters. Will have to verify.

Beautiful...!

$260-$360 Billion. So roughly around half of America's. Not bad at all. Impressive.

It's ironic. They claim China is imperialistic , yet they themselves claim an ENTIRE state of Malaysia. Can you imagine ? Can you imagine ? It's like Korea claiming the whole of Aichi prefecture . Or Japan claiming all of Taiwan. Yea, not Going to happen. This is beyond islands and atolls. By...

His son cannot even hold on to Makati and he's already talking about Sabah?
