Chinese warships dock in Hong Kong
- 12 years ago
Two of China's most advanced warships have docked in Hong Kong, in what some see as a deliberate display of China's naval strength.
This comes amid a statemement by the Chinese naval commander that the recent joint US-Philippine drill in the South China Sea did not "target" any particular country.
The warships in the 10th Chinese Naval Escort Taskforce - the Yuncheng 571 frigate and Haikou 171 destroyer - arrived in Hong Kong's Stonecutters army base on Monday for a five-day visit.
