USS Nimitz Crew in Hong Kong

A group of U.S. naval warships has docked in Hong Kong amid growing tensions between China and the United States over trade and diplomatic issues.

The five-ship group, led by the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, arrived in the Chinese territory Wednesday for a scheduled port call. A statement issued by the Nimitz says more than 5,000 sailors from the fleet will go ashore for sightseeing and other activities.

The port call is taking place despite Beijing's threat to suspend military exchanges with the U.S. after Washington announced a $6.4 billion arms sale to Taiwan, the self-ruled island China claims as its territory.

@cheekpalan Yeah, China is not provoking the US at all. It's not like they've got spies INSIDE the US or are stealing American technologies or anything. The US is just the bad guy and that's all there is to it, right?
