Reuters: Chinese and Malaysian ships in South China Sea standoff: sources
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - A Chinese government survey ship is tagging an exploration vessel operated by Malaysia’s state oil company Petronas in disputed waters in the South China Sea, three regional security sources said on Friday.
China’s Haiyang Dizhi 8 entered waters near Malaysia on Thursday, according to ship tracking website Marine Traffic.
On Friday, it was close to the Petronas-operated West Capella, according to the security sources, who did not want to be identified because they were not authorised to talk to the media. One of the sources said a Vietnamese vessel was also tagging the West Capella.
The area is close to waters claimed by both Vietnam and Malaysia as well by China, through its sweeping claim to most of the South China Sea within its U-shaped ‘nine-dash line’ that is not recognised by its neighbours or most of the world.

China is banking on other nation's navies backing down to them because of the presumed "global ramifications" of any exchange of gunfire.
China is behaving no differently than a thug on the street. Confident that the harassed victim will just hand over their wallet rather than deal with the messy legalities of drawing their concealed firearm and putting a bullet through their fucking brain.
