High Alert! : US and Allies Submarine in South China Sea Bring a ‘Nuke Disaster’ in the Region

A senior Chinese expert on the maritime issue raised questions on the announcement the US 7th Fleet made about a US submarine collision in the South China Sea, as well as concerns over the increasing military presence of the US and its allies in the region, as they could bring more danger and accidents to the region, and would even cause a "nuclear disaster."

"Let us imagine the protagonists of the incident on September 30, 2018 were two nuclear-powered submarines instead of Chinese destroyer Lanzhou and the USS destroyer Decatur, which had to maneuver to avoid a collision at a time of rising tensions between China and the US".
