The US warship was definetely not expelled
But it also didn't have any qualification to stay there (PLAN dominates that area)
So its basically all a big PR game.
US says "Freedom of Navigation" but lol, US knows that it cant truly traverse this are without the PLAN sinking its ships
And China cant expel a ship. Because if it wants, the US ship can stay there indefinitely and China doesn't dare to do anything against it
So, meaningless PR game. Everyone knows that China dominates that area
