China to Celebrate Navy

China is preparing to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the founding of its People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy. This is odd because usually the military is super secretive about the stregnth it maintains and is moving towards showcasing its newest military weaponry.

This has moved US officials to come and visit the Qingdao as a part of the celebration and there were even some politics involved as sailors from India, Pakistan and Russia jested with one another.
