China is getting to do some "amphibious exercises" 200 KM off Taiwan as well, and they have been really complaining about the presence of the US Navy's finest in the general vicinity.
It appears the rendezvous point for the surge exercise is within striking distance of China and NK. Kida stinks to be Chinese right now, with 7 CBG's breathing down your neck.
If the dollar collapses...so does China.
Anything on the ground based laser that they're said to have deployed?
