It’s all part of Operation Valiant Shield, “a demonstration that America is present”, explains Capt. Bradley. No one here will admit it but the deployment of 30 warships and several hundred combat aircraft is aimed at making China take note. It’s the biggest show of American power in the Pacific for 30 years.

Robert Lee. The base will cost an estimated $15 bn. ABC Australia– Ref. 3639 Journeyman Pictures is your independent source for the world's most powerful films, exploring the burning issues of today.
