Any military is going to practice things. It makes sense for china to practice this since they are literally surrounded by usa military bases and are threatened by them constantly. This is nothingburger.

The only thing that's threatened by US military bases are their imperial ambitions in the region. There's a reason why even Vietnam is seeking US protection. You know that the US isn't going to attack China first.
