The British sent aircraft carrier to the Ministry of foreign affairs of the South China Sea spoiler:

Fallon, Britain's defence secretary, said Britain hopes to send a warship to the region next year. "We will not be restricted by China by sailing through the South China Sea," he said". Is London trying to reclaim the glory of the British Empire in the Asia Pacific? In the view of analysts, this is more like a bluff, "pengci" the South China Sea by hot brush presence. Since 2014 the "excellence", after retirement, Britain has been in the state of no carrier is available, the construction of the new "Queen Elizabeth" is expected to be delivered to the Navy by the end of the year, really into combat deployment until 2020, when the British government has no Johnson's seat to say. No wonder British Internet users are mocking and dismissive of his remarks. "I hope foreign countries not to stir up trouble, don't rock the boat." Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said at a press conference on the 28 day.

27, after the British Australian foreign and National Defense Council meeting, Johnson said that since last year sent to Japan and South Korea "typhoon" fighters, Britain will strengthen its commitment to the Asia Pacific region. He said: "one of the first tasks we want two huge new aircraft carrier is carried out, send them to the area to perform the freedom of navigation tasks, to maintain our freedom of navigation on the international system and rules based on the belief that the waters of international trade is crucial."

Johnson did not specifically say where to send aircraft carriers to carry out the freedom of navigation mission, but in conjunction with the dialogue context, the British media have directly linked it with the South China sea. "Guardian" to "Britain's new aircraft carrier will test the Beijing in the South China Sea" as the title, Johnson promised, will allow two new British aircraft carrier for the fierce waters of the South China Sea for free navigation. In his subsequent speech, in the face of hundreds of politicians and businessmen, Johnson reiterated his commitment to send aircraft carriers to the Asia Pacific region. "If you look at the two aircraft carriers, you'll see them longer than the Westminster Palace," he said. "I think you'll agree. They're more persuasive than most parliamentary debates.". We promise to do this, not because we have enemies in the area...... It is because we believe we must uphold the rule of law."

In a subsequent question and answer session, Johnson said his audience was baffled by his promises. He said, "we haven't decided yet, OK?" You don't have to rush to the beach now and look forward to the horizon. But they will come, but not tomorrow." On the same day, the talks between Britain and Australia talked about the South China sea. Australian Foreign Minister Bishop said the two sides discussed the issue of South China Sea as one of the "urgent challenges" in the Asia Pacific region. She said: "we have a long discussion on the Pacific issue and the opportunity to strengthen Britain's participation in the affairs of the region...... We see Britain as our natural partner in Pacific Development and security matters."

Johnson said in an interview with the Australian newspaper that the legal certainty of the South China Sea is very important and that the British side will play a role in the region will be welcomed in many ways. On Thursday night, Mr. Johnson called on all parties in the South China Sea 'to respect freedom of navigation and international law,' the CNN said, and suggested that Britain or send ships across the Strait of Malacca, Sydney. Reported that the British team in the South China Sea sovereignty dispute in practice may provoke Beijing, Chinese still remember the humiliation suffered defeat in the Opium war.

British Defense Secretary Fallon made a clearer mention of "free navigation in the South China Sea" the day". He said in an interview with Reuters that the British side will strengthen the presence of water in the South China sea. Last year, Britain sent 4 fighters to participate in joint exercises with Japan in the region. "We hope to send a warship to the area next year, and we have not yet decided where the ship will be deployed, but we will not be restricted by China through the South China Sea.". We have the right to freedom of navigation, and we will do so." Reuters said the presence of British warships could exacerbate tensions in the context of China's strengthening naval power and increasingly tough positions. Britain's move could undermine relations between London and Beijing and weaken bilateral relations, which the two governments call "the golden age".
