East meets West in dealing with piracy

While organizations such as NATO and the EU have brought together the fleets of multiple nations to deal with piracy other unaffiliated countries have also been making their presence's felt. The largest and most powerful of these nations of course is China. Once seen as having its own agenda in dealing with piracy, it looks as though China may be cooperating with NATO in this regard. At the very least the two sides are "officially" talking to each other. How closely the two sides are really working together is open to speculation, but such meetings do make for excellent publicity and can always be built upon.
