The Chinese know how to piss Americans off. Really. Prior to yesterday, most of the people who were really angry at the Chinese were parents of dead children because of some bogus Chinese toy. Hopefully, the Chinese have now angered 8,000 sailors and their families.
Earlier this year, the Kittyhawk strike group was doing joint exercises in the Pacific. Somewhere in that period, a Chinese submarine popped up in the middle of our ships and was supposedly within firing range of the Kittyhawk. If that wasn't bad enough...
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (the Chinese Ministry for ------- Americans) has now denied the Kittyhawk and several of her ships access to Hong Kong for a long-awaited Thanksgiving port call.
Thank you, China, for angering several thousand more Americans. Some day, you may regret it.

The denial of port access is dumb, but the ability to sneak a sub into the KH battle group is not just an annoyance, it's more an indication of the fact that China may be catching up with us.
