My comment:
(a) The article says, "In 1994, a fleet led by the US Kitty Hawk intruded
into the waters along China's maritime boundary line on a so-called cruise
mission. The US formation of naval warships trespassed into China's
territorial waters and went even farther to closely trail a Chinese nuclear
submarine, which had just finished a long-distance cruise mission. This ill-
advised move plunged the two countries into confrontation mode for a time."

Well US saw it differently: that its warships were in international waters
and that Chinese nuclear attack submarine was tailing the American fleet. As
usual, China never disclosed where it happened.

Detargeting. Global Beats, July 14, 1998.

Please read the paragraph that starts with "Until the mid 1990s"--as well as
the next three paragraphs.

(b) The commentator states, "The Yellow Sea is pivotal to China's core
interests." China used to say Taiwan and Tibet were its core interests. In
the past year, China added South China Sea. Now it adds one more.
