Who writes these articles, a communist Chinese? China is not “uncomfortable” and Japan and the USA have been military allies over 60 years. Our joint defense preparations do not “increase tensions.” It would be irresponsible not to hold these drills.
A Russian communist. RT = Russia Today
Why are we practicing protecting our coasts? We need to “do something” in Syria!!

I am really unclear why you are being so obtuse on this relatively minor issue (as you yourself stated), but my comment to the salient fact quoted above would be:
Calling the chain of Islands off the coast of California the "Santa Barbara Channel Islands" still does not place San Clemente Island off of the coast of the City of Santa Barbara. In fact the island remains where it is: off the coast of Orange and San Diego Counties.
The list of islands is called The Santa Barbara Channel Islands, not sure why that upsets you - sorry. I am going to the beach tata
If you go into the water don’t hold your breath.
