Original Note:
The incident took place in international waters, and the US ship was taking part in joint exercises with regional allies. Their ships have the same rights to be there as ships from any other nation that is a signatory to UNCLOS, of which China is one. https://www.un.org/depts/los/convention_agreements/texts/unclos/unclos_e.pdf
