China calls U.S. 7-carrier exercise in Pacific ’naked intimidation’
2004-07-07
July 7th, 2004

Beijing is denouncing a large-scale U.S. naval exercise as targeted at China, U.S. officials said. The Summer Pulse exercise will involve the simultaneous deployment of seven U.S. carrier battle groups around the world.

China’s government is also upset that Taiwanese naval forces are involved in the exercises. A Chinese military source said China cannot handle more than two carrier battle groups. "This is gunboat diplomacy in the 21st Century," the source remarked.
