Chinese Naval Officers

Chinese naval officers were treated to chole bhature, an Indian preparation made of chickpeas and served with bread made of white flour on the side, on board Indian Navy's INS Shakti during the international fleet review at Qingdao.

A Chinese Navy nuclear-powered attack submarine which docked at the Karachi harbour in May took aboard Pakistani naval officers and sailors to give them a first-hand glimpse of the operations of a nuclear submarine.

China's sole aircraft carrier has arrived at a naval base on the southern Chinese province of Hainan, a senior Taiwanese military officer said on Wednesday, after drills that took it around self-ruled Taiwan, an island China claims as its own.

Any move by China to fly jet fighters from runways on its new man-made islands in the disputed South China Sea would be destablising and would not deter US flights over the area, a senior US naval officer said today.

The chief of US naval operations met with his Chinese counterpart via a video call today, two days after a US destroyer sailed close to artificial islands built by Beijing in the South China Sea.

Senior US naval officers visited China's lone aircraft carrier this week, China's military said, as the two powers try to maintain military ties despite mounting tensions over Beijing's claims in disputed waters in the South China Sea.

One Chinese naval officer has advice for fighter pilots intercepting U.S. surveillance planes in the wake of an incident over the South China Sea last week that Washington condemned as dangerous - fly even closer.
