What is the legal justification being given? These are international waters, governed by international laws.

The international sanctions put into place by the G7 via agreement.

What will we do if China decides to use this as a precedent to interdict shipping in the Taiwan Strait?

Based on what predicate? That Taiwan is a murderous dictatorship that's bullying its neighbors?

You've trapped yourself between 2 opposing I HATE TRUMP positions here:

1. I HATE TRUMP because he's not sufficiently supporting the Ukrainians!
2. I HATE TRUMP because he's bullying Venezuela!

...except in this case, he needs to interdict the ship to make you happy.
