Taipei (Taiwan). China deployed military aircraft and ships to monitor US Navy aircraft passing through the sensitive Taiwan Strait. The Chinese army gave this information. There is often tension between America and China regarding self-ruled Taiwan. The US Navy’s 7th Fleet said in a statement that the P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft flew through the international zone of the strait “in accordance with international law”. It said it “reflects America’s commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.”

The US is Taiwan’s most important supporter and arms provider. US military ships and aircraft regularly pass through the waterway separating China from self-ruled Taiwan. Beijing claims this East Asian island as its territory. In a statement, Colonel Cao Jun, spokesman for the People’s Liberation Army’s Eastern Theater Command (Air Force), criticized the US mission and said it threatened regional peace and stability.
