China condemns latest U.S. warship transit of Taiwan Strait
June 23, 2021: The United States was condemned by China on Wednesday as the regions biggest risk creator after a US warship sailed again on a sensitive waterway that separates Taiwan from China.
The U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet said the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Curtis Wilbur conducted a “routine Taiwan Strait transit” on Tuesday in accordance with international law.
“Sailing through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates America’s commitment to a free and open Indian Pacific.” The People’s Liberation Army’s Eastern Theater Command said its forces monitored and alerted the entire route. “The US side is deliberately playing the same old tactics and creating trouble in the Taiwan Strait and disrupting things,” he said.
“It clearly shows that the United States is the biggest threat to regional security, and we are constantly opposed to it.” Taiwan’s defense ministry said the ship was heading north via the strait and that “the situation was normal.” The same ship crossed the Strait a month ago, making China allege that The United States had threatened peace and stability.
The latest mission comes a week after Taiwan said 28 Chinese Air Force planes, including fighters and nuclear-capable bombers, had entered Taiwan’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). Which, of course, made the video an overnight sensation. Following the incident, the group of seven leaders issued a joint statement reprimanding China on a series of issues and highlighting the importance of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait condemned China as a “slander”.
The US Navy has been conducting such operations in the Taiwan Strait every month or so. The United States, like most countries, has no formal diplomatic ties with democratic Taiwan but is its most important international backer and a major seller of arms.
Military tension between Taiwan and Beijing have spiked over the past year, with Taipei complaining of China repeatedly sending its air force into Taiwan’s air defence zone.
