This is exactly the point. China is trying to stretch the rules of international law. The Navy has a zillion extra destroyers in the 7th fleet, sailing around without a mission. Any ship under a US flag should be given an escort if traveling near China. We have drawn a line in the sand (water?), and nobody can screw with our ships without consequence. Our military ships should have specified rules of engagement where we protect all our ships - military or civilian. The Chinese playing games near their coastline is no different than the pirates off Somalia. If China means to start a war then let them start it at sea -where they are the weakest. If they just want to test our President, then our President should show some them he is willing to go the distance when presented with an overt act of war.
