The U.S. Navy sailed a warship through the Taiwan Strait following a recent close call between U.S. and Chinese military planes in the region, reminders of the military tensions that underlie the bilateral relationship.
The USS Chung-Hoon sailed through the waters separating Taiwan and China on Thursday in what the Navy’s 7th Fleet said was a routine transit. It was the first such sailing announced by the Navy in 2023 and follows nine sailings made public last year, according to one private-sector tally. Beijing protested each time.
