Speak Engrish

So I'm reading this news article about how the Chinese are all pissed about some American mapping ship breaking their law in their waters. Kinda boring, but check out what the article said, it made me smile.

The ship, the USNS Impeccable, "broke international and Chinese laws in the South China Sea without China's permission," Ma said.

Broke Chinese law without Chinese permission....as opposed to what? Breaking it WITH their permission?

Teehee
