China's navy is going to participate in exercises in the Pacific Ocean in the next few days. The navy exercises caused concerns in the rest of the region - in Vietnam and Philippines that have had some clashes with China recently. Moreover, some experts consider it is a China's response to the US announcement regarding location of its navy forces in Australia.
