Zitat:China turned down a request for another U.S. Navy ship to visit Hong Kong amid a spat over a long-planned docking of the USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, the Pentagon said on Friday.
Washington has complained that China, at the last minute, blocked a visit by the Kitty Hawk and accompanying ships for the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday last week. Family and friends of crew members had flown in to meet their loved ones.
The United States has also complained China refused to let two minesweepers shelter from a storm in Hong Kong last week.
Also on November 22, China told the United States it would not allow the next planned quarterly flight into Hong Kong by a C-17 aircraft to support the U.S. consulate there, said the spokesman, Marine Corps Maj. Stewart Upton.

Die Sache scheint bei den Chinesen affig zu werden. Wobei die immer mehr Sympatiepunkte verlieren. Sowohl im Honkong als auch im westpazifischem Raum.
