Step 2: Note the reporting from the AP (about 1/3 of the way through the article):
"The Associated Press reported that a senior researcher with the People’s Liberation Army’s Navy Equipment Research Center, Yin Zhuo, said the collision was likely an accident. He said the American destroyer appeared to have failed to detect the submarine, while the Chinese vessel set its distance from the McCain assuming it was not carrying sonar arrays, according to the state-run China Daily."
Step 3: Recall the EP-3 collision over international waters in 2001. Also recall the Chinese official's statement:
"The US plane's nose and left wing rammed the tail of one of the Chinese planes
causing it to lose control and plunge into the sea."
Sarcasm Mode: ON
Why is it that it's always the United States military ramming into the Chinese?
Sarcasm Mode: OFF

As my co-worker put it: "Because the Chinese are somewhere they're not supposed to be."
Remember we always play nice! We can't use the "Weapons" or "tools" that the enemy uses! Right Dad?
They have made a lot of news lately!
