Republican senators are calling for a "firm response" to China's seizure of
a Navy drone, including recalling the U.S. ambassador to China until the
drone is returned.
"This brazenly hostile act is outrageous and must be met with a firm
response. The U.S. Navy was operating in international waters conducting a
standard exercise, and China should return the underwater vehicle
immediately,” said Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.).
Gardner is the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's
Subcommittee on East Asia, the Pacific, and International Cybersecurity
Policy.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said
in a statement, "The United States must not stand for such outrageous
conduct.
“The Chinese Navy’s seizure of a U.S. unmanned oceanographic vessel in
international waters is a flagrant violation of the freedom of the seas.
China had no right to seize this vehicle," he added.
The incident occurred Thursday around noon local time in international
waters off the coast of the Philippines, according to a defense official.
The USNS Bowditch, an oceanographic survey ship, was preparing to retrieve
its unmanned drone out of the water as part of its typical mission to
collect data on the ocean and weather patterns, the official said. The drone
had surfaced and sent out a signal as to its location per normal operations
.
A Chinese ship that had been shadowing the Bowditch then dropped its own
small boat in the water and swooped in to grab the drone, the official said.
The Bowditch crew called over radio to the Chinese ship to ask for the
equipment back. The Chinese crew confirmed receipt of the message, but began
sailing away, leaving with the drone.
Around noon local time on Friday, the U.S. State Department filed an
official demarche with China. The official said the matter is now in the
State Department's hands.
Gardner urged the Obama administration to recall the U.S. ambassador to
China until the drone is returned and a formal apology is issued.
"The United States must send a message to China, unilaterally and through
the United Nations, that if its hostile behavior in the South China Sea
continues, there will be repercussions," he said.
McCain added: "We are not witnessing a China committed to a ‘peaceful rise.
’ Instead, we are confronting an assertive China that has demonstrated its
willingness to use intimidation and coercion to disrupt the rules-based
order that has been the foundation of security and prosperity in the Asia-
Pacific region for seven decades.
"As I have said repeatedly, we must adapt U.S. policy and strategy to
reflect this reality and ensure we have the necessary military forces,
capabilities, and posture in the region to deter, and if necessary, defeat
aggression.” | v*******n
