Cold War part 2?

China has asked the U.S. to stop flying surveilence missions off China's southern coast in response to an incident this weekend between an Navy survey vessel and a five Chinese ships. U.S. news organizations have largely ignored the story in favor of time spent talking about earmarks and pork barrel projects signed by Obama in the last week.

The U.S. claims the ship was in international waters and China claims the ship violated Chinese soverignty.

Anyone else just have flashback to the end of Top Gun?

"We both agreed that we should work to ensure that such incidents do not happen again in the future," Hillary Clinton told reporters after a meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang.

The U.S. has worked hard in recent years to make an ally out of Communist China due in large part because China currently owns over one-third of all U.S. debt.
