Chinese state media have issued a fresh warning to the United Kingdom as its warships sail through the South China Sea, but British experts doubt "direct confrontation" is likely.
The UK's HMS Queen Elizabeth is currently leading a flotilla of warships through the contested waters as part of a seven-month deployment through the Mediterranenan, Indian Ocean and the Indo-Pacific.
