The Hill: China hits Trump's comments on naval drone: We don’t like the word ‘steal'
China on Monday rejected President-elect Donald Trump’s assertion that it had stolen an unmanned drone in the South China Sea last week.
“We don’t like the word ‘steal’ — the word is absolutely inaccurate,” said Hua Chunying, the spokeswoman for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, according to Bloomberg.

Trump tweeted about the seizure several times over the weekend, calling it an “unprecedented act.”
