Out of all targets they could find, they decide to harass the little guy.
Why am I not surprised? Oh yes. It is just another government.

The Chinese are not little and they harass everyone. They spray fishing boats with water cannons. This dispute is happening because China claims they own everything.

You need to realise that China is not every Chinese person.
Their govt. harasses their own people too.

If they are spraying our fishing boats with water cannons and we go spray their fishing boats with water cannons, we just fall into playing their game and doing what they want.

Our govts. need to capture the ones that are spraying the fishing boats, instead of capturing fishing boats.

By "little guy", I mean the grunt workers, which in this case, are the fishing boats in both the countries. No govt. is a "little guy" in my books. Definitely not one that can afford a Police and a military.
