New Pics of Naval Incident With China




BEIJING, China (CNN) -- A U.S. surveillance ship violated Chinese and international laws during patrols more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) off the Chinese coast over the weekend, China's state-run media reported Tuesday
"China has lodged serious representations with the United States, as the USNS Impeccable conducted activities in China's special economic zone in the South China Sea," said Ma Zhaoxu, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman. "We demand that the United States put an immediate stop to related activities and take effective measures to prevent similar acts from happening."
The response follows the Pentagon's contention Monday that Chinese ships harassed the U.S. vessel on Sunday in the latest of several instances of "increasingly aggressive conduct" in the past week.

The Chinese were clearly trying to create an incident, that is pretty close to get to a naval vessel. Reminds me of when china forced down the surveillance plane in the early days of the Bush Admin.

  1. The place where this incident happened is 100 miles away from China and 10000 miles away from US.

    So, if US Navy ship can play there, so do
    Chinese.
