Seems it's the US, NATO, India, Russia, Egypt, and possibly even some of the Arab states. That's probably giving China chills, even though they're part of the mix. It may also be that Russia and China are seeing what a REAL navy can do (Boxer/Bainbridge/SEALS, French, etc.), and are getting nervous. Better equipment, better living conditions, better tactics all point to a more professional force than Russia or China anticipated.
