What are they gonna do, lose a war at them?I doubt the Chinese will be very happy about this.
Being the ship was named Taipei, the commander who seized it perhaps thought it's a ROC ship and thus a valid target, but the higher ups realised it is not and they just pissed of their biggest trade partner.I get the feeling there's more to the story than this, that or someone had a serious herp derp moment.

No, the rest of the world will bitch that the US owes protecting their ships to them, that is the problem with doing something for so long, people start feeling entitled to it.Wouldn't that be the day when people will stop bitching at the US for every perceived wrong now that they need to pay for their own navy to do the guarding.

How many years will this Pax Americana hold before one president will be forced to recall them I wonder?The world recieved free protection for global shipping for 30 years.
For 30 years the americans took care of any idiot who threatened any international trade, for 30 years they sent their children to die in hellholes spent their money with out getting anything in return. That was 30 years to build up your economy, build your nation and get your shit in gear with out any real requirements in return. That is a fantastic deal, that people squandered the sacerfice of the american people in blood and treasure isnt our fault.
