AUS Navy destroyer passed through waters claimed by Beijing in the South China Sea in a show of force that comes as the nation’s military holds drills around Taiwan.
“These operations demonstrate that the United States will fly, sail, and operate wherever international law allows—regardless of the location of excessive maritime claims and regardless of current events,” it said. China’s military tracked and monitored the US warship during its passage, which was done without the permission of the government in Beijing, the country’s Southern Theater Command said in a statement on the Weibo social media site.
China, meanwhile, this week has held multiple exercises involving aircraft and ships near Taiwan, after the island’s president, Tsai Ing-wen, returned from a visit to the US, which included meetings with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other US lawmakers.
