Former submariner Rex Patrick says it can be difficult to grow a navy quickly and retain average experience right across the fleet as concerns are raised over reports a Chinese submarine suffered 55 deaths in its own underwater trap.
UK intelligence agency sources allege the submarine became stuck in a ‘chain and anchor’ trap underwater in an event which took place in the past month.
“This incident may be a signal that the Chinese government ought to be taking notice of,” Mr Patrick told Sky News Australia.
“This raises concerns about when you’ve got a submarine force that is not operating as professionally as one might hope, it can cause incidents.
“The South China Sea is becoming very filled with foreign military submarines and it is a geo-political tinderbox.”

If China were to go to war 50% of its losses will be due to the substandard equipment
It is obvious The Chinese intentionally sinking their submarine at that location so They able to claim they own that part
The world is benefited from flawed, poor quality Chinese war machines. They get destroyed by itself. Life span must be short.
Mission successfully failed 💪
Why 55 only? It should be more! Like thousands or millions (Except for the innocent of course) .. 😂.
China nuc subs claim their sub can remain under water for 100 years. So they are not trap as news saying. Be patient they will be back 100 years from now.
KARMA. No one will give sympathy for the government of China. But Condolences to the family.
Great news
Good news for us Filipinos bullied by this CCP pricks… Karma always have its own way of dealing with this commies
Chinese and operating professionally don't belong in the same sentence. This is typical poorly trained sailors not following any procedures using a garbage tofu Chinese sub that failed… There is absolutely nothing professional about this. The got caught in their own trap… The PLA is a joke.😂🤣
Karma is real….
What proofvis there that this evem happened? This just looks like anti-China propagsnda.

Should have ask Taiwan for help to test Taiwan naval competency. Leave all the squabbles behind . Very pathetic not sad. Anyway , quality … good things don't come cheap. Cheap things don't come good.
End of the day. Avoid Made in China goods. Mass production without quality control .
Thought for the Day.
They've been fcking around and engaging in risky behavior, only to find themselves in difficult situations of their own making.
Thats 55 more oxygen for the rest of us
55 less potential scammer

Blah blah blah , ChiNaaa bad, West good…Blah blah blah, ChiNaaa bad, West good. Blah blah blah…
The problem is it was made in china
It might have been in international waters that China illegally claims? Claims that have been denied by international courts?
Sad and Ironic to lose Chinese Soldiers because of a trap Made in China and Deployed by China. 👈🇨🇳😩
I would never put it past Xi to allow this to occur as a test of the efficacy of the trap. Absolutely on-brand for the CCP.
It's an unfortunate accident.
I express my condolences to them.
Learning curve….play the game pay for the price.
Solid made in china! Nice!! 🎉
Made in China will rust sooner than later….especially in the sea water.
пруфы Билли, мне нужны пруфы!…

Hmm 🤔
To- foo buildings are famous in china…perhaps the submarine was built to the same standards
It all changed in 1972 when Nixon foolishly normalised relations with Communist China resulting in the USA providing China with Most Favoured Nation Status. From that point onward China has been stealing technology from the West and the West has been building China's manufacturing sector. Now the entire world is paying the price of an aggressive Communist China under the authoritarian rule of their psychopathic leader Xi. Yes I think the democracies of the world CAN and WILL stop China by moving their manufacturing and money out of China to safe democracies and with escalating trade barriers. The west does NOT need China, China needs the west.
India, Mexico, Philippines and other eager democracies will be the benefactors of this necessary shift in policy.
The Chinese people are hard working (although this is changing quickly) and as intelligent as everyone else BUT they are brainwashed and led by a Psychopath. From the 1950s to the late 1970s, Chinese students were not allowed to attend university in Europe and the Americas except in socials studies. We need to go back to this rule until China becomes a democracy.
