China Says It Will Return the Underwater Drone It Seized From the US (thehill.com)
An anonymous reader quotes The Hill:
China said Saturday it will return the unmanned U.S. drone it seized in the South China Sea, calling the issue "hyped up" by the U.S. "Upon confirming that the device was a U.S. underwater drone, the Chinese side decided to transfer it to the U.S. side in an appropriate manner," said the spokesman for the Chinese Defense Ministry, Sr. Col. Yang Yujun, according to CNN. "China and the United States have been communicating about this process. It is inappropriate -- and unhelpful for a resolution -- that the U.S. has unilaterally hyped up the issue. We express our regret over that."
A Defense Ministry spokesman added that China opposes U.S. "surveillance and military surveys in waters facing China...and demands the U.S. cease such activities. China will stay alert over relevant U.S. activities and will take necessary measures to counter them."

Which situation exactly?
The maxed out national debt; or
The hottest month on record; or
The widening gap between the 1% and the 99%; or
The spike in police shootings; or
everything else cynically blamed on president-in-waiting Trump even though Obama (the Hope president) has been in power for the last 8 years?
