If we had actual military leadership

 Instead of the woke commie fuckstains we have now, then the proper response to these ships flaunting international and maritime law would be "load the torpedos.  Then reload them".

A large number of China's "little blue men," the irregular maritime militia forces that receive support and training from the Chinese government, have gone dark on traditional maritime tracking systems thanks to a new law. The inability to track these ships is worrisome given the role many Chinese fishing and commercial vessels play in Beijing’s plans to assert itself in the South China Sea and the East China Sea, some of the most hotly contested areas of the Pacific.

They've gone off the tracking system?  Then let's make them go off the tracking system permanently.  But we all know that won't happen.  Joe Biden is a drooling head of cabbage wandering the West Wing trying to figure out who shit in his Depends, and he's wholly owned by China anyways.  His handlers love them some CCP money and influence.  The Secretaries of the various military branches?  It is to laugh.  They care more about being woke than they care about winning wars.  And SecDef Lloyd "Walking Piece of Shit" Austin is presiding over the destruction of the military via the jab, just like he was installed to do.

So China gets to do whatever the fuck it wants while the corrupt US government allows them to do it.  And let's be honest, shall we?  There's huge numbers of Democrats out there masturbating furiously at the thought of China showing up the USA.  They're loving it.  That's why they voted for Drooling Joe in the first place.
