Quote:

"'They seem to be taking a much more aggressive approach with respect to the
"near sea" area. Recent public statements about the United States Navy not
operating in the Yellow Sea, which is an international body of water, that's
just not something that we're going to adhere to,' Admiral Mullen said. 'I
mean, we're going to continue to operate in international waters, as we have
historically.'  He was referring to Chinese objections to the plan for U.S.
-South Korean naval exercises in the Yellow Sea.
