Like I said: you board and arrest them.

On what charges its a disputed area, both are claimants, if you arrest them then you are violating their rights.

You are deliberately being obtuse right?! You know how many ‘unarmed civilians’ gets shot and killed by US police every year?
How do you expect them to board a moving vessel? Have you even looked into the most basic question of how boarding ships are done?
Go do some basic research and come back and tell us how you actually plan on conducting a hostile boarding action while using less force and causing less risk of serious injury and death than using water cannons.
So you are telling us that China doesn't have the technology to stop a moving ship without shooting at it? This should be #1 research priority because it will be useful in all kinds of future maritime conflicts.
It's called ramming.

Are you telling me you don’t know enough about naval tech and even basic physics to know that no one has such StarkTech McGuffins that can alter fundamentals rules of physics and make hundreds to thousands of tons of ship just magically stop moving even as it’s crew redlines the engines trying to get away, and all while being less violent than using water cannons to shoo them off?
China’s priority is in keeping grew zone intruders out of its waters. It doesn’t want nor need to catch them. Just shooing them off is more than sufficient.
Boarding would be a significant escalation even if you did have magical tech to be able to do it with zero risk of injury or death to the crews. In reality, boarding is a highly dangerous and violent act, and if the crew resists, there will be causalities. That is why boarding ships is such a big deal and not to be done lightly.
