Instead of decreasing the tension, China sent warships from the deadly South Sea Fleet.

The Chinese PLA Navy launched a massive live fire drill in the South China Sea few days before judgment day, starting July 5 to July 11. This comes days just a few weeks the U.S. steamed two battle groups with aircraft carriers off the coast of the Philippine Sea. Also, the Indian and Japanese Navy just visited the Philippines, showing their support of this nation with the weakest armed forces among progressing countries in South East Asia in terms of military assets.

The South China Sea and the West Philippine Sea have been host to several powerful navies in recent months. Is this an augury for sea hostilities to come?
