China airs footage of large-scale amphibious landing - UPI.com
Washington has requested China put an end to land reclamation in the disputed Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, but Beijing has neither complied with Washington, nor responded to Manila's request to resolve the territorial disagreement before an international tribunal.
On Monday China's state-run media outlet Global Times called Swift's act "provocative," according to South Korean news network YTN.
Beijing's criticism of the U.S. commander was followed by footage from China's television network CCTV showing large-scale amphibious landing drills in an unidentified location, according to South Korean news agency Yonhap.
According to Chinese media the country's navy conducted its first multi-level amphibious landing exercise involving ships, soldiers and helicopters.
The footage showed the firing of missiles and guns, and the arrival of soldiers and tanks onshore.
Chinese press reported "Bison class" amphibious hovercrafts were deployed during the drill for the first time. The hovercrafts are capable of loading three heavy tanks, or ten armored cars with 140 soldiers on board.
"It is the world's largest hovercraft," CCTV reported.
