Whether we would like to admit it or not the Chinese are doing exactly what we do.

Russians too... Nobody seems to care about when we do it, but if a foreign country does it, "HOW DARE THEY COME THAT CLOSE TO OUR COAST!!"

PO3 Jason Melito - Oh I am very aware of their responses, just think it's interesting when the news gets to pick and choose what to focus on. I mean, I'm sure that's partially due to some influence from government officials releasing certain information while holding other information back. That is a well understood concept, it just would make sense if we also highlighted that we do the exact same thing, only that we get harassed while they are being allowed to travel in international waters unprovoked.

Any time foreign warships are near the USA it should be a concern even though they are in international waters. This is not a common area for Chinese warships. With the massive front line build ups going on in Europe between the USA and Russia plus this quote from BBC News:
"They ( the Chinese) have conducted exercises with Russia in the Mediterranean and in the Sea of Japan... they have interest in the northern sea route so to see them off the coast of Alaska is the next evolutionary step along these lines." I would be questioning their government on their motives for being in the area. I would be keeping a wary eye on their movements and I would have our own ships and aircraft patrolling nearby waters and sky way. Use the seven P system just in case. Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performance.
