Time line so far:

1. A Chinese ship was taken over by Pirates. Oct. 19th.
2. China's military said they would take back the ship.
3. China refused military help from the US, Britain, an/or France
4. Now the ship is anchored off a Somalia town and China is in secret negotiations. Oct. 27th

Personally, I don't see any good face saving ways for the Chinese Government on this mess. I hope I am wrong.
