Global Times: Chinese military expels US destroyer from territorial waters in S.China Sea
The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) on Thursday expelled a US warship that trespassed into China's territorial waters in the Xisha Islands in the South China Sea on Thursday, near an ongoing Chinese military exercise zone that reportedly featured live-fire anti-ship ballistic missile launches.
The USS Mustin, a US Navy guided missile destroyer, trespassed into the China's territorial waters in the Xisha Islands on Thursday, and the PLA Southern Theater Command dispatched naval and air forces to track, identify and warn it leave, said Senior Colonel Li Huamin, a spokesperson for the PLA Southern Theater Command on early Friday.
The US ignored the rules of the international law, repeatedly stirred up troubles in the South China Sea, exercised navigational hegemony in the name of "freedom of navigation," seriously undermined China's sovereignty and security interests, and severely sabotaged the international navigation order in the South China Sea, Li said.

I wanna see the video.
One ship gets a big response. Wear them out.
Don't be stupid. Who shoots first loses the PR war. China likes to ram. They're great farmers. Ask any fisherman in that half of the world, sometimes beyond. And they like clubbing. The Chinese are great at clubbing. Last time they used clubs during a deceitful sneak attack at the Indian border. Clubbed them to death because "guns"/(modern)"kinetic" exchanges should trigger an escalating response.
So yeah, the Chinese know exactly what they do. The thing is, our side sometimes gets underestimated.
