All is not what it may appear to be. Several days ago China seized a US Navy drone. Reaction has been much as one would expect. Demand that it be returned. How this is an borderline act of war and so on.
But then there's Donald Trump. President elect Trump says: Keep it. What? You are thinking to yourself now. That's right Trump tells China to just keep it.
The drone in and of itself is no big deal it's the act of the seizure is where the value of the drone lays. By President elect Trump tell in China to just keep it, the political value of the drone is lessened. It also starts the rumor that the drone's purpose was not to collect underwater data. But data from it's captors "China". Not Data found under the sea, but data found at it's location at a China military base.
Either way China don't get as large of an in your face insult as they would have hoped in this case.
With the added bonus that it just could be true and their base has been ....well... Hacked.
