(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 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.

Let's make a deal, Mr President P---y Grabber.

Make sure you examine every nook and corner of that drone then return it to the p***y grabbing president.

Only if he agrees to stop his P---y grabbing behaviour for a month.

Only if he agrees to stop his P---y grabbing behaviour for a month.

Not possible

Not possible

Alright, how about he pays a little extra surcharge on all his China related businesses?

 

[Beast]

China shall return it. Only after we smashed it up to a heap of garbage.

 

[Dungeness]

China should setup a "Lost and Found" warehouse in one of their islands, and charging a storage fee to anyone who claims it.

I think this is actually a bless in disguse for the americans.

So next time when China depoly the world first death star in space, the americans can comfort themselves and claim China's death star tech is copied from tech they stole from undersea junk they "steal" from the american in 2016.

So the PDF Chinese approves their government of petty theft. Got it...

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Well soon China will get F-35 copy as well a unit has been sold to israel compromised technology

 

[Shankranthi]

Expect a reversed engineered copy in 2 years.

It will be interesting to see the US response. Trump has his hands full when he walks into the white house.

I bet China will charge a $1 billion return and pickup fee to the next US president.

The US cannot demand it back. It is like an illegal Mexican immigrant in the US; once they are caught by the legal authorities, they are subject to the law of the land.

The vessel is now subject to the law of the land it was in the process of breaching when it was 'caught' by the legal authorities.

China should sell it back in the form of various high-end value-added electronic products at a discount rate.

This would partially satisfy Trump the grabber's aim to reduce trade deficit.
