The United States military released video Monday of what it called an 'unsafe' Chinese maneuver in the Taiwan Strait.
The United States military has released video of what it called an "unsafe" Chinese maneuver in the Taiwan Strait, in which a Chinese navy ship cut sharply across the path of an American destroyer, forcing the U.S. vessel to slow to avoid a collision.
During the Saturday transit, the Chinese guided-missile destroyer overtook the Chung-Hoon on its port side, then veered across its bow at a distance of some 150 yards , according to the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command. The American destroyer held its course, but reduced speed to 10 knots "to avoid a collision," the military said.
The Chinese ship did not attempt a similar maneuver on the Canadian frigate, which was sailing behind the American destroyer. "China's military actions are completely justified, lawful, safe and professional," he told reporters in Beijing. "It is the U.S. that should deeply reflect upon itself and correct the wrongdoings."
