But do you condemn HMAS?
Rules-based-order is such a patronizing and paternalistic phrase for the US to come up with. The age of colonizer countries making rules is over.
Even if there wasn't a single Chinese navy ship in the region, our newspapers would all find some reason to mention how evilbad China is when talking about this and how the time the first officer on the ship stubbed his toe it was because of evil China toe stubbing rays.
