This Chinese Naval beauty is docked at Mumbai!

Much to Indians' surprise, China docked its Naval beauty, Jinan, a Luyang II-class missile destroyer of the Chinese Navy, at Mumbai harbor on a stopover while on an anti-piracy mission on the Gulf of Aden, on Monday.

The People's Liberation Army Navy vessel will be leaving for Salalah in Oman on July 24.

The arrival of the Chinese vessel comes at a time when India is keeping a firm eye on the Chinese naval movement in the Indian Ocean Region.

Earlier this month, a Chinese submarine had docked in Karachi, Pakistan, raising the eyebrows of the Indian security establishment.
