100 miles out of Subic?
A small unannounced vessel approaching? Theft? This should have never happened for one. Second, this should have ended with either warning gunfire or dead Chinese. |

The USNS Bowditch is an essentailly unarmed research ship with remote submersibles. Nothing new here except for the Chinese theft.

Although it's unclear what the motivation was for the Chinese, the seizing of
the drone comes on the heels of other provocative incidents that have happened since President-elect Donald Trump received a congratulatory call with Taiwan's President, a violation of the US's agreement with China's "One China policy". China publicly voiced their disapproval of that incident and contacted the White House at the time. Trumps Fault |

I'm going to expect many of these types of "tests" from the Chicoms in the near future. At least until someone gets blown out of the water. Then they'll get indignant and all pissy.
