Another good move by our Navy, continuing to assert freedom of navigation in international waters. The Black Sea has been tense since Russia seized Ukranian naval vessels said to be operating inside their national boundary.

I think you have it backwards, russia is far more militarily powerful than china even if economically weaker, they are both in alliance but you seem to underestimate which one is the miltary powerhouse and which one relies on scraps from russia to develope their military equipment.
