A possible deployment of China's navy to fight pirates in Somalia's coast has the overwhelming support of the country's netizens. In fact, they want the government to send a navy fleet as soon as possible.
The navy has just finished an anti-terror drill in the South China Sea, with warships and helicopters "rescuing" hijacked cargo vessels.
A survey conducted by www.huanqiu.com showed 90 percent of the 14,124 netizens who were interviewed wanted the government to send the navy to fight the pirates.
