You can't beach a ship in your own territorial waters and then get upset when China comes to take your stuff and harass you? Do you understand what is even happening in the South China Sea?

Do you think the territorial sea extends 200nm?

I think that's more plausible than China's claim that their exclusive economic zone stretches over a thousand miles off their coast, and supercedes both Vietnams and the Philippines exclusive economic zones.....

Glad that we agree that the South China Sea is entirely vibes-driven and has no foundation in international law.
