Report: China installed weapons on islands

Story highlights

  • One of two underwater drones was seized by a Chinese naval ship
  • The drone was simply measuring ocean conditions, a US official told CNN

(CNN)The Pentagon is demanding that China return an "unlawfully seized" underwater drone after a Chinese warship took the device from waters near a US oceanographic vessel.

"We call upon China to return our UUV immediately, and to comply with all of its obligations under international law," Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said in a statement, using the abbreviation for "unmanned underwater vehicle."
    In the latest encounter in international waters in the South China Sea region, the USNS Bowditch was sailing about 100 miles off the Philippine port at Subic Bay when the incident occurred, according to the official.
    Bowditch had stopped in the water to pick up two underwater drones. At that point a Chinese naval ship that had been shadowing the Bowditch put a small boat into the water. That small boat came up alongside and the Chinese crew took one of the drones.
    The US got no answer from the Chinese on the radio when it said the drone was American property, the official said.
    As they turned away, the Chinese did come up on the radio and indicated they were returning to their own operations.
    US oceanographic research vessels are often followed in the water under the assumption they are spying. In this case, however, the drone was simply measuring ocean conditions, the official said.
    Although it's unclear what the motivation was for the Chinese, the seizing of the drone comes on the heels of other provocative incidents that have happened since President-elect Donald Trump received a congratulatory call with Taiwan's President, a violation of the US's agreement with China's "One China policy". China publicly voiced their disapproval of that incident and contacted the White House at the time.

    How much tribute will Trump pay to China?

    If they keep up stuff like this, he may pay them the tribute of Taiwanese independence and South Korean nukes.
