Ronald,
Will you ever learn in regards to Infowars and other similar websites? Debka has the Chinese Navy already secretly positioned off the Syrian Coast.
I notice that infowars has already put their spin on it with the following.
The report states that additional PLA warships have also been sent to the region but that their identity is unknown.
Not a single mention of why the Chinese vessels are in the region in the first place. I wonder why? The reason is to suck in the gullible that actually think that China has dispatched these vessels specifically for the Syrian crisis.
The Jinggangshan is part of the international anti-piracy patrols off Somalia and the region.
The 15th convoy fleet comprises three ships -- amphibious docking vessel Jinggangshan and missile frigate Hengshui from the navy's Nanhai Fleet, and supply ship Taihu from the Beihai Fleet -- carrying three helicopters and 800 troops.

Quite amusing watching the conspiracy nuts get over excited in regards to this.
According to DEBKAfile, Beijing has already deployed a number of warships opposite Syria in secret. If the latest report is confirmed, this will be the largest Chinese deployment in the Middle East in its naval history
