Default First Chinese Naval visit to Sydney

http://china-defense.blogspot.com.au...in-sydney.html

Apparently its to celebrate 40 years of diplomatic relations between Australia and China. AFAIK this is the first visit to Sydney of a Chinese warship. Hope we don;t share too much with them, but then again they might just be down here as a scouting party for our new owners.

There are chinese plans to build their own Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House, at a third of the cost you paid (in money! It'll cost 1,000 lives in the process). They're just there to measure up.

Good opportunity to place a mine on their hull!

Just in case the 40 years of "diplomatic relations" lead to 40 days of "robust negotiations".

It's the PLAN, not Greenpeace!

Maybe they're looking to pick up another cheap Aircraft carrier?

Not sure that a Canberra class will help'm out much though!
