China constructing a satellite tracking station in Argentine Patagonia
A space tracking station for lunar exploration being built in Argentine Patagonia by China, as part of the strategic relation and accords between the two countries, has caused concern in the Argentine congress because of the secrecy surrounding the terms of the deal. Ref. Source 9
Argentina has gone brave and instead of impounding decides to sink a Chinese fishing vessel that they say was doing illegal fishing in their waters. Now I know the last administration was trying to befriend the Chinese - I take this new one is not. See the story: Source 5u.

I would like to add that the reason they decided to sink the vessel was because they were threatened. When the Argentine Coast Guard fired warning shots upon discovery they were illegally fishing in Argentine waters, the Chinese vessel responded by turning off their lights and heading straight to the Coast Guard to crash. Yes, complete insanity.

Then they must have been doing something more than simply "Fishing", however I hope they video taped the incident because China will dispute it every step of the way.
