They’ve gone and done it again.

What is with Chinese boats and invading our territorial waters, over and over and over again???!!? You have to think someone in the Foreign ministry gets really annoyed when he has to call the Chinese embassy for the 9 th time. I’m imagining something like…“Hey, this Sugiyama. Yep, your boys went and did it again. Please tell them to stop sailing by our piles of rocks out there off Okinawa. My boss wants me to tell you to tell your boss that it’s really getting old.”
