well considering Iran used a PT boat to capture a bunch of USN fags in a large zodiac and Obama gave them a shitload of cash for release the law doesn't fucking matter and all you have is negotiations and violence.
China isn't afraid to lose a ship in a tussle with the USN, of course that's not exactly plan A for them. They want to make the USN look stupid and they'd like to capture some hostages and equipment and put them on TV admitting that they were agressors into rightful Chink waters. China is patient, ambitious and intellegent.

Ok so who had "frigate VS oil tanker"? It's not USN but it was during NATO "biggest naval exercise to scare Russia" so that has to count.
Do they seriously call their navy the 'People's Liberation Army Navy'? Are those drones not aware of how retarded that name sounds?

Two naval ships shooting at each other doesn't start a hot war. It could, but it doesn't force it to happen. If the Chinese come out on top they use it to their maximum advantage. If the Chinese don't, they'll complain about the evil warmongering Americans and if neccessary keelhaul their own captain as required for optics.

So. When are they going to start retrofitting ships with crow's nest?

I'm pretty sure it sounds better in Chinese. Technically the army is "People Liberation Army Army". "People Liberation army" is only two words in Chinese and means "military" more than army.
The fact that translators aren't even capable or translating the name of the army right should tell you a lot about the quality of the "analysts" talking about China. It's like "what's the Chinese equivalent to the CIA/MI6?"… I can guarantee you nobody knows the name of the fucking service (and in case you were gonna say the MSS it isn't, the MSS is the emerged part of the iceberg, it's not one service CChina is running a fucking dozen of services on the scale and scope of the CIA. EVERY chink abroad is a potential spy. They have a billion people and have put the manpower to work).

This is missing the cold war era anti ship missiles and anti missile missiles used to shoot down the anti ship missiles launched from anti anti ship plane planes.
