The Chinese ships included a Chinese Navy intelligence collection ship, a Bureau of Maritime Fisheries Patrol Vessel, a State Oceanographic Administration patrol vessel, and two small Chinese-flagged trawlers, officials said.

A couple boats ! = Chinese people != Chinese government. If we raise serious military considerations as a result of a few yokels in boats, we have a bigger issue.
