On Jan 1st of this year China made some new riles which the US responded to by saying that China was being provocative.
QUOTE: The US has described new Chinese rules on fishing access to disputed areas of the South China Sea as "provocative and potentially dangerous".
Regulations approved by Hainan province requiring foreign fishing vessels to ask for permission to enter its waters took effect on 1 January.
China claims a U-shaped swathe of the South China Sea, which it puts under the authority of Hainan province.
This swathe overlaps areas also claimed by several South East Asian nations.
The move comes with tensions already high over China's recent establishment of an Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ) that covers East China Sea islands claimed and controlled by Japan, and a rock claimed by South Korea.
It also comes as China takes an increasingly assertive stance on its territorial claims across Asia.
"The passing of these restrictions on other countries' fishing activities in disputed portions of the South China Sea is a provocative and potentially dangerous act," state department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a regular briefing.
