'The seizure of the drone is also a reflection of the struggle occurring under the surface of the South China Sea. '
'The Chinese navy has seized an underwater drone in plain sight of the American sailors who had deployed it in international waters, in a seemingly brazen message to the incoming Trump administration. '
'Chinese sailors in the small boat came alongside the drone and grabbed it despite the radioed protests from the Bowditch that it was US property in international waters. '
'A week later there was a collision between a US spy plane and Chinese warplane off China’s Hainan island. '
'The Chinese now have much better control over the military, particularly the navy. '
