This is a great opportunity to gain intelligence on the Chinese fleet. This is a GOOD thing not bad.

OK, I don’t see how this situation has any possibility of turning out well. We have US warships marking territory; and China and Australia suddenly wanna play games?? I hope this doesn’t go really bad!

You do understand that China just participated in RIMPAC not to long ago, so why is this some type of surprise...countries train together all the time.

These exercises are planned long in advance, especially when other countries are involved. There was no "suddenly" about this.
