I see the danger. They have problem avoiding even container ships.

Compare the two photographs; the Decatur is turning away from what was certainly a collision course with the aft portion of the 052C.

Or the 052C was moving away faster.

The reflections of sunlight off the Decatur suggests that it was turning as opposed to either ship adjusting speed.

Nothing wrong with shadowing the USS Decatur, but this very, very risky behavior. The PLAN ship (052C?) is putting both ships in danger. USS Decatur has to be commended for the quick reaction and avoiding further escalation. China can stake their claim but no need to get that risky. We are talking about 8400t and a 7000t vessels literally on a collision course. Next time send a bunch of wooden fishing boats.
