This is clear provocation. The question is who provoked who FIRST ?
From article: "Analysts saw the passage as significant as Beijing has long objected to U.S. Navy vessels transiting its territorial waters or operating in international waters just outside."

From article: "Analysts saw the passage as significant as Beijing has long objected to U.S. Navy vessels transiting its territorial waters or operating in international waters just outside." Neither incident is a provocation. The right of free transit through international waterways is long-established, and Uncle Sam has spent considerable diplomatic capital keeping it up.

Yes, and which country is it of the two that’s flexing it’s military might and threatening its neighbors on a regular basis?
