WTF !! China Blocks US Navy Request For Hong Kong Port Visit !!
[link to www.zerohedge.com (secure)]

In an sharp deterioration of diplomatic ties, China has blocked a request for a U.S. warship to visit the post of Hong Kong, the U.S. consulate in the Chinese city said on Tuesday, amid rising tensions between Beijing and Washington over escalating tariffs and a U.S. decision to impose sanctions on China's military for engaging in military deals with Russia.

"The Chinese Government did not approve a request for a U.S. port visit to Hong Kong by the USS Wasp,” a consulate spokeswoman said adding that "we have a long track record of successful port visits to Hong Kong, and we expect that to continue."

In all fairness, they just had a Typhoon come through and thrash the place. So it's probably more of an attempt to save face, so we don't see how fucked the place is and a way of mitigating any potential embarrassment about how long their clean up process is.

The last thing they want is the Navy offering to help them clean up.

Because that's what we always do.

This is the correct answer.

There is no worsening relations. They don't want us making them look worse.

Plus their ports are heavily damaged. Looks bad in world media cycles.

that's not the case, the damage here is not as bad as you imagined, there are still some broken windows and fallen trees here and there but things were back to normal within 2-3 days.

it's mainly because China is losing the trade war and they are doing these kind of things to show the US that they are angry

China will just send it to the Long Beach port since they purchased it earlier this year.

Yep. China owns Long Beach port.

And guess what? That is the EXACT port where federal grant money is going for the high speed rail project that just so happens to follow the charred remains up through California.
