Stealing word in not accurate: China slams Donald Trump over American drone

Beijing : China rejected Donald Trump's words claiming they stole American drone from the disputed South China sea and came up with an appropriate reason behind their action.

"China steals United States Navy research drone in international waters -- rips it out of water and takes it to China in unprecedented act," Trump tweeted.

Hua claimed that despite of all floating words, the militaries of both sides are handling the matter "smoothly".
