At the conclusion of the operation, USS Benfold exited the excessive claim and continued operations in the South China Sea.” • The operation drew sharp reactions from Beijing but no actual action. • In this video Defense Updates analyzes why China could only complain as USS Benfold sailed into the South China Sea without its permission? • #DefenseUpdates #southchinasea #usvschina • CHANNEL LINK: • Facebook - / defenseupdates • SUPPORT US: • Patron: / defenseupdates • AUDIO: • scottleffler.com • BACKGROUND MUSIC • https://incompetech.com/music/royalty... • Giant Wyrm Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License • http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b... • IMAGES USES • U.S. Navy/Handout via REUTERS • https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-d... • • www.businessinsider.in / Thomas Peter/Getty • https://www.businessinsider.in/financ... • www.ibtimes.com / AFP • https://www.ibtimes.com/beijing-says-... • Google Map • https://maps.google.com/ • navalpost.com / US Navy • https://navalpost.com/uss-benfold-par... • • navalpost.com / US Navy • https://navalpost.com/uss-benfold-par... • • news.usni.org / US Navy • https://news.usni.org/2017/11/20/dest...
