This weekend’s arrival of a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Yellow <\/strong>Sea poses a dilemma for Beijing:<\/strong> Should it protest angrily and aggravate ties with Washington, or quietly accept the presence of a key symbol of American military pre-eminence off Chinese shores?<\/p>\n

<\/strong>The USS George Washington, accompanied by escort ships, is to take part in military drills with South Korea following North Korea’s shelling of a South Korean island Tuesday that was one of the most serious confrontations since the Korean War a half-century ago.<\/p>\n

It’s a scenario China has sought to prevent. Only four months ago, Chinese officials and military officers shrilly warned Washington against sending a carrier into the Yellow Sea for an earlier set of exercises. Some said it would escalate tensions<\/strong> after the sinking of a South Korean navy ship blamed on North Korea. Others went further, calling the carrier deployment a threat to Chinese security.<\/p>\n

North Korea, by contrast, warned Friday that the U.S.-South Korean military drills were pushing the peninsula to the “brink of war.”<\/p>\n
