Analysts expect that this may mean that the U.S. plans to deploy the U.S. aircraft carrier George Washington to the Sea of Japan , to avoid disturbing the Chinese . China strongly opposed to the aircraft carrier because of the activities in the Yellow Sea - although the U.S. Navy , where activity has been long . South Korea's Deputy Defense Minister HL 10,000 pairs of the Associated Press said the exercise would in the " near future " to continue and said the U.S. aircraft carrier will be deployed in the Sea of Japan, east of the Korean peninsula . However , U.S. officials did not comment on the statement .

However, China is beginning to shake off the coastal waters of the United States in recent years have clearly showed that several times.
