China has deployed anti-ship cruise missiles on a disputed South China Sea island and the missiles are raising new concerns in the Pentagon over Beijing’s growing militarization of the vital strategic waterway.
Defense officials confirmed that China’s military recently test-fired a YJ-62 anti-ship cruise missile from Woody Island, in the Paracels located in the northern part of the South China Sea.
At the Pentagon, spokesman Peter Cook declined to confirm the cruise missile deployment but said reports of the test firing has increased worries about Chinese military activities.
Maybe if the Pentagram (er, Pentagon) recognized that the US has no reason to be meddling in the South CHINA Sea, they wouldn’t be so concerned about Chinese anti-ship missiles. I’m sick and tired of our government sticking their noses in the business of everyone else. How about the military actually do something novel, like actually protecting our country by sealing our borders rather than playing the whore mercenary for the global elite?
