China has named one of its new Type 055 destroyers Lhasa, after the capital of Tibet. China’s state media the Global Times reports that the ship is named after “the capital of Southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region”. China has a policy of naming warships after major Chinese cities, and, controversially, is naming another destroyer Tapei, after the capital of Taiwan, which China claims as Chinese territory.
