On Aug 13, the USS Higgins trespassed into China's Huangyan Island waters without approval.

Below are our exclusive HD shots, capturing the US warship up close in detail. The USS intrusion lasted for around 1.5 hours, from 9:01-10:34. PLA Navy tracked, warned, and drove it out by the book. This illegal intrusion shows the old US playbook: provoke, then retreat.
