Yellow Sea Venue for Rival War Games

[ErnstBlofeld]

Voice of America:

 

The Yellow Sea is again the setting for naval war games. China has started a four-day artillery exercise in waters off Qingdao. The United States and South Korea are to hold joint drills in the same waters in a few days.

 

China's Defense Ministry, according to the Xinhua news agency, describes the naval drill, which began Wednesday, as routine training.

 

The maneuvers come just ahead of a second round of war games in the same waters by the United States and South Korea. That exercise begins Sunday in the Yellow Sea, between northern China and the Korean peninsula.
