"A
US Navy admiral on Wednesday accused China of “challenging” its
“military access” to 
the western Pacific Ocean by creating an
“anti-access umbrella” and through the use of “grey zone” operations.
Delivering
a statement on the “posture of the US Navy” before the House Armed
Services Committee, Admiral Michael M. Gilday, the chief of naval
operations, expressed concern that the size of the People’s Liberation
Army Navy (PLAN) had “tripled” since 2000.
The US Navy secretary described the upgrade of the PLAN's capabilities
as having created an “anti-access umbrella” for Washington and other
Western allies in the region." Sputnik
