The refusal of the PRC to allow safe harbour in Hong Kong to American warships during a storm could be in breach of maritime law. On top of the denial of access to the fleet for Thanksgiving Day one can only wonder what is taking place in Honkers. Probably saved the boys a load of money plus avoiding a dose of clap. Certainly flexing their muscles it seems . Maybe pulling out of next years Olympics would be an appropriate response by Uncle Sam but a future avoidance of the port may be a good idea too.
