Germany Sent Warship to South China Sea in Nearly 20 Years

China has many disputes on the South China Sea Sovereignty with many countries. Germany sent a warship to the South China Sea on Monday (Aug 2), the first such activity in nearly 20 years. The aim is to maintain international stability. They stated that the warship would not enter the 12-mile range from the disputing sovereignty area.

Deutsche Welle said that Germany sent Frigate Bayern for a 6-months voyage, during which it would refill the needs from the ports from the allies. Germany might show their disagreements with the Chinese sovereignty at the South China Sea when the warship bypassed the area, which would affect the China-Germany relation. However, an official from the German Ministry of Defense stated that Frigate Bayern would not enter 12-mile of the disputing area nor the Taiwan Strait.

Regina Ip Criticised APEC having "Unfair Condition" that Beijing has to Decide whether to Attend with this Insult

The #WashingtonPost reported earlier that the #US #DepartmentofState denied #JohnLee to enter the US border for the #APEC summit. Yet, the Hong Kong government can still send other senior officials to participate.

The pro-establishment camp criticised the US's practice with statements and journals yesterday. Among them, #ReginaIp, the convenor of the Executive Council, wrote in #ChinaDaily that the APEC summit has an "unknown future" because of John Lee. She also questioned whether it is worthwhile for the government to send another official to attend if the ban is "harmful and unreasonable". She pointed out that the Chinese "highest leader" should decide whether he should accept "the insult".

Besides, #TaKungPao quoted statements from various politicians in a report, including #MargaretChan from #CPPCC, #KingsleyWong from #HKFTU and #BraveChan from #DAB.

Note:
CPPCC refers to Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference
HKFTU refers to Hong Kong Federation of Trade Union
DAB refers to Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong
