CHINA has flown six nuclear capable bombers over a set of disputed islands in a major World War 3 taunt.<\/p>\n
GETTY <\/p>\n
The H-6K bombers did a number of drills over the Bashi Channel and Miyako Straight in the last few days and sparked outrage in Japan. <\/p>\n
But the territory sits right between the Sakishima islands and Okinawa, which links to the Japanese mainland. <\/p>\n
The Channel is also of huge importance in terms of global trade with world powers jostling for control of its fish stocks and for its access to shipping lanes. <\/p>\n
But Beijing has taunted its Japanese neighbours, telling them to \"get used to it\". <\/p>\n
We live in turbulent times. Trump has the keys to nuclear weapons, and could end work to prevent climate change. Putin is looming in the East, the far-right are on the rise in Europe and Kim Jong-un is developing nuclear weapons of his own. Is this the END of days? <\/p>\n

Before his inauguration, Donald Trump asked a security expert three times during a briefing, why the US couldn't use nuclear weapons after he becomes president. <\/p>\n
They will feel better after getting used to such drills <\/p>\n
A spokesman for the Chinese Government said: [Our] air force over the past week conducted multiple drills far out at sea, with H-6K bombers and many other types of aircraft flying through the Bashi Channel and Miyako Strait, testing actual battle capabilities over the sea.\" <\/p>\n
They added the move was part of \"routine exercises\". <\/p>\n
And Colonel Ren Guoqiang Guoqiang told Chinese media: It is legitimate for Chinese military planes to fly through the strait, and more similar training will be conducted on the high seas as needed. <\/p>\n
The parties concerned dont need to overact and make a great fuss about it.\" <\/p>\n
He added:They will feel better after getting used to such drills. <\/p>\n
Japan has previously expressed its outrage at China flying into contested territories before. <\/p>\n
It is just one of the tactics the superpower uses to assert its dominance in the region. <\/p>\n
