China Returns Seized Underwater Drone To US by Bsc(m): 12:11pm On Dec 20, 2016
China has returned an underwater drone seized from the United States in the South China Sea after the incident sparked a dispute between the global superpowers.
The handover of the small unmanned vehicle to the US was "completed smoothly" after "friendly consultations" between both sides, China's defence ministry said in a short statement on its website on Tuesday.
The "naval glider" was used to test water salinity and temperatures to help in the mapping of underwater channels, a US defence official had said, adding "it was taken" by China in international waters off Subic Bay last week.
The Chinese navy vessel that seized the drone returned it near the location where it had been taken, US Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said in a statement issued late Monday.

China said it snatched the equipment because it posed a safety hazard to other vessels. It also said it "strongly opposed" US reconnaissance in the South China Sea and asked Washington to stop surveillance activities.

US president-elect Donald Trump also waded into the dispute. On Sunday, after Beijing and Washington announced it would be returned, Trump tweeted: "We should tell China that we don't want the drone they stole back - let them keep it!"

The US military has conducted several "freedom of navigation" operations in the South China Sea, in which ships and planes have passed close to the sites Beijing claims.
Such missions have drawn howls of fury from China, which accuses Washington of provocation and increasing the risk of a military mishap.

The vessel's seizure comes amid rising tensions in the South China Sea, where China has moved to fortify its claims to the region by building tiny reefs into artificial islands. New satellite imagery made public by a US-based think-tank last week showed that China installed what appeared to be large anti-aircraft guns and close-in weapons systems on seven islets in the Spratly Islands chain.

[b]You are obviously high. Technological ingenuity that America churns out daily comes at a cost. The cost of revolutionary research and devt.
Go and tell your china to stop copying western technology. Let them go and spend dollars in breaking new grounds, and see if the technology they like to copy is cheap.
They should build their own stuffs and sell as usual to backward nations like Nigeria.
Even with how inexpensive their chinese stuff are, the US is still by far the largest exporter of weapons in the world.
The biggest and most developed nations in the world trust and use American weapons. China can produce a million cheap knock-offs, they would remain a mere jest.
I see you did not answer my post regarding Apple and tecno phone. That is because the difference is clear.

[b]You are joking right?
no be only arab numerals. cheesy
Go and tell saudi-arabia to use their numerals to build their own fighter jets instead of pressuring the US for more F-16s.
And no, the US did not steal NAZI tech. Some of their best tech minds immigrated to the US just like it still happens today.
Why do you think the US created the visa lottery system? cheesy
There is no stealing here.
The US is the one creating the viable environment and doing the heavy funding of ground-breaking science and tech research.
China just copies it cheaply. Even Russia is scared of selling to china.

Russia is not scared of selling to China. Russia was china's major weapon supplier (specifically tanks, jets and missiles) before and during the cold war before China started manufacturing weapons. moreover Moscow just deliver some battalions of S-400 system to Beijing recently.
