"If people are loitering outside your bamboo fence and the owner goes out to check on things, and then they say you've violated their rights, what's the sense in that?" said Jin Mao, a Chinese vice admiral, according to the news agency.
NVDL: The USA says China is harassing them....but they are testing underwater devices off a Chinese harbor. Ummmmmmmm....how about if a Chinese ship was based off New York, Pearl Harbor or New Orleans doing underwater research. The US is stirring, seems like they're looking for another war.
U.S. National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair told Congress the Chinese had become more assertive in staking claims to international waters around economic zones and were "more military, aggressive, forward-looking than we saw a couple years before" in Southeast Asia and the South China Sea.
The United States accused China of harassing the U.S. ship, the Impeccable, in international waters off Hainan, site of a Chinese submarine base and other naval installations.
The Pentagon has said the American ship, an unarmed ocean surveillance vessel, was conducting routine operations in the South China Sea 75 miles south of Hainan.
But China insists the Impeccable's operations were neither routine nor legal.
The Impeccable was specifically designed to deploy two underwater listening devices to augment the Navy's anti-submarine warfare capability, according to http://www.globalsecurity.org.
