Chinese and US navies play games and party despite tensions

US and Chinese sailors faced off on Chinese soil Tuesday, in sporting clashes between their navies aimed at building trust despite rising tensions over Beijing's territorial claims in the South China Sea.

The contests -- the hosts claimed a 3-1 victory at football, and the visitors dominated on the basketball court -- were followed by a party on board the USS Blue Ridge, the flagship of the US Navy's 7th Fleet as it paid a rare visit to the base of China's South Sea Fleet.
