01:24 It's the Chinese Coast Guard who recovered their own barrier.

01:38 This issue reached the hearing of the U.S. Foreign Affairs Congressional Committee.
01:42 According to U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Lindsay Ford,

01:49 is one of the many incidents of the protest of small countries
01:53 that China is cutting.
