The U.S. destroyer USS McCain broke into the waters adjacent to the Spratly Islands without the permission of the Chinese government today, and the Southern War Zone organized naval and air forces to warn it off, said Tian Junli, spokesman for the PLA’s Southern War Zone, on Tuesday. There was no word on how the U.S. warship responded to the Chinese military’s naval and air forces’ pincer movement.
According to a Reuters report today, China’s southern war zone said the USS McCain destroyer stormed the waters adjacent to the Spratly islands and reefs and warned it off. According to Tian Junli, a spokesman for the southern war zone of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, the U.S. side’s actions seriously violated China’s sovereignty and security and seriously undermined peace and stability in the South China Sea region, China said Tuesday, expressing firm opposition.
According to Reuters, the spokesman for the southern war zone published this message in an official WeChat. “The war zone forces are always on high alert, resolutely fulfill their duties and missions, and resolutely defend national sovereignty and security and peace and stability in the South China Sea region.”
Following the USS Muscatine destroyer’s 18-night passage through the Taiwan Strait, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said Sunday that the Chinese PLA aircraft carrier Shandong and its frigate group sailed through the Taiwan Strait that day.
According to Reuters, Chinese Navy spokesman Liu Wensheng said on Monday that the carrier group of the Chinese Navy’s Shandong ships passed through the Taiwan Strait last day without incident and went to the relevant waters in the South China Sea for training, “and we will continue to organize similar operations in the future according to training needs.”
