Sailors stand on the deck of a Philippines Navy ship as it participates in a naval parade to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of China's People’s Liberation Army Navy in the sea near Qingdao in eastern China's Shandong province, on Tuesday. China celebrated the 70th anniversary of its navy on April 23 by showing off its growing fleet in a sea parade featuring a brand new guided-missile destroyer. Under grey, foggy skies, Chinese President Xi Jinping stood on a warship to take the salute from 32 Chinese vessels, including submarines, and 39 planes off the eastern city of Qingdao.
