CHINA-GERMANY: GERMAN NAVY FRIGATE 'BAYERN' PASSES THROUGH SOUTH CHINA SEA
|
Associated Press reported (November 9) that commenting on the German frigate Bayern's
passage through the South China Sea, Germany's Navy Chief Vice Admiral Kay-Achim
Schonbach said the frigate’s dispatch was to show support for Japan, the US, and other partners.
He underscored Germany's concerns that freedom of navigation and the rule-based
international order were being threatened in the region, apparently referring to its biggest
trading partner, China.
