TAIPEI — Two warships—one US, the other Canadian warship—sailed through the sensitive Taiwan Strait together on Sunday less than a week after China conducted a new round of war games around the island, with Beijing denouncing the mission as "disruptive."The US Navy, occasionally accompanied by ships from allied countries, transits the strait around once a month. China , which claims Taiwan as its own territory, also says the strategic waterway belongs to it.
China's Eastern Theater Command said its forces monitored and warned the ships."The actions of the United States and Canada caused trouble and are disruptive to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait," it added.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said Taiwan was not a matter of "freedom of navigation," but of China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
