FIVE Chinese vessels manoeuvred dangerously close to a US Navy ship in the South China Sea on Sunday, closing within eight metres of the unarmed surveillance ship, the Pentagon said...
The Chinese ships surrounded the USNS Impeccable, and after two ships came within 15 metres, waved Chinese flags and told the Americans to leave the area, the Defence Department said in a statement...
The US ship's commander asked the Chinese ships by radio "in a friendly manner" for a safe path to leave the area, it said...
Two Chinese boats then moved directly in front of the Impeccable, forcing it to take emergency action to avoid collision, and then dropped pieces of wood into its path, it said.
Sounds like they are testing Obama out, which isn't surprising after this:
U.S. President Barack Obama's proposal to reach out to moderate Taliban will fail to end the Afghan insurgency as it is inflexible Taliban leaders who are orchestrating the war, not moderates, analysts said.
Coupled with this we can really see Obama's foreign policy nous.
Still I guess he could just focus on the 57 states.
