China has vented its anger after the United States sailed another warship through the Strait of Taiwan on Tuesday, accusing the US of seeking to undermine regional peace and security.
A statement from the PLA Eastern Command slammed the “provocative” naval activities, accusing the US yet again of sending “wrong signals to ‘Taiwan independence’ forces” – following the passage of the USS Sampson in what’s now a monthly patrol. “China is firmly opposed to this,” the PLA statement added.
The PLA further indicated that Chinese navy vessels followed and monitored the USS Sampson, adding that the event was “hyped up… publicly” by the US Navy. “The troops of the PLA Eastern Theatre Command always stay on high alert to resolutely defend China’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” it said.
