FOX News: Chinese tabloid tweets about ‘aircraft carrier killer’ missiles, US Navy responds

The Global Times, a state-run tabloid in China, got the attention of the U.S. Navy on Sunday when it tweeted about Beijing’s “aircraft carrier killer” missiles while two U.S. carriers are in the region.

The paper, which has been described as a "jingoistic tabloid," said Beijing has a “wide selection” of these missiles, and any U.S. carrier “movement in the region is at the pleasure” of the People’s Liberation Army, according to “analysts.”

“And yet, there they are,” the Navy Chief of Information Twitter account posted. “Two @USNavy aircraft carriers operating in the international waters of the South China Sea. #USSNimitz & #USSRonaldReagan are not intimidated #AtOurDiscretion.”
