uh...i don't see the separation between taiwan, the american naval presence in the south china sea and this incident. i'd be interested to read how you manage to make such a separation. it's not like this happened outside of all context, is it?
i don't see the basis for your claim that the chinese did not allow the ship to be there: it was harassed, sure--but that's different from "not being allowed" isn't it?
basically, i do not understand what your position on this is based on. maybe if you explain it (again perhaps) i'll see this differently.
