according to the pentagon air, chinese navy ship stole it in broad daylight. it happened asa u.s. navy research vessel, the "bowditch," was recovering underwater drones after testing water offs the coast of the philippines, data which can be used to hunt for chinese submarines. the chinese ship, which had been shadowing the "bowditch," swooped in, pate small boat in the water, snatched one of the drones and disappeared over the horizon, ignoring radio calls to return it. u.s. navy research vessels are routinely shadowed and harassed by chinese ships as part of the shoving match for dominance in the south china sea. this incident, in which a pair of chinese trawlers harassed and almost collided with another navy research ship, occurred in wow 9. but usually, those incidents occur much closer to the chinese mainland than this one. only the chinese know if this was intended as a signal to the incoming trump administration. pentagon officials say it look likes will the chinese ship simply saw a chance to disrupt american operations and went for it. scott. >> pelley: david martin at th

not because he wanted to send the u.s. navy on vacation. because we have to confront the threat china poses in the south china sea. the reality is that what we're seeing over the last few days and i think a frightening lack of leadership from the president-elect. at first says we've got to get the drone back, then i don't care. look, i'm not a president-elect, but i was a lieutenant and had a platoon in the marines. if i was taking my marines on a mission to get a drone back and then a day later halfway through the mission said, oh, no. we don't care. they can just have it. that's not leadership pe were have to have serious leader shmp and stra strategic thinking. not one-off phone calls very confusing to the troops. >> we have a tweet. tell china we don't want the drone they stole back. let them keep it. congressman kinzinger, when you see this back and forth and i suppose we may be expecting this as donald trump moves in to the white house is that helpful? >> no, i don't think so. you know, i think twit ker play a very important role in t

that obviously got the u.s. navy upset. the chinese government came out with a statement late this evening local time saying that it had come up with a way to return this donrone back to the united states, that both sides were engaged in direct communication. boris, it's worth noting that even though the chinese say that they took the drone out of the water, what they said was for navigational and personnel safety reasons of passing ships in the area. i think if you talk to most experts they will tell you that when the chinese did what they did, when they pulled the drone out of the water, i think that most experts would tell you that the chinese were clearly sending a message to the united states that they are not happy with their naval operations in this part of the world. >> we've seen an escalation here, it started with the discovery of weapons on those man made islands this week, then a nuclear armed plane flying in that area. and now this. interesting to see how this is going to play out in a new trump administration.
