U.S. Warships Pass Through Taiwan Strait Amid China Tensions

Two U.S. warships passed through the Taiwan Strait on Saturday on a voyage that will likely be viewed in the self-ruled island as a sign of support by President Donald Trump amid heightened tension with China.

“Two U.S. Navy ships conducted a routine transit through the international waters of the Taiwan Strait on July 7-8 (local time),” Captain Charlie Brown, a spokesman for U.S. Pacific Fleet, told Reuters in a statement.

“U.S. Navy Ships transit between the South China Sea and East China Sea via the Taiwan Strait and have done so for many years,” Brown said.

U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the destroyers Mustin and Benfold carried out the passage.

Earlier on Saturday, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said the ships were moving in a northeastern direction, adding that the situation was in accordance with regulations.

For those who value liberty, equality, and Truth. Anything you bought that is made in China or China brand, the money you pay, goes to liberty, equality, and truth destruction fund. In China communism constitution, all companies should have communist in their top management, so the party controls every single company in China including foreign subsidiaries. The Chinese legal system is not independent, it is governed by autocracy. This is against liberty, equality, and truth. Please kindly support Taiwan from China imperialism. Thank you the US for your kind supports. God bless.

Been sailing there for 100 years, never harmed anyone. Everything China does in the area is deceitful, which gives the impression that there is nefarious purpose.

Trump wants a second term; he uses the stock market to gauge his success, and that is already affected by the trade war.A real war will make it much worse. Not much chance for a real war this year, but the warmongering may continue for a while longer.

don’t worry says:

trump better get his approval ratings up if he wants a war with china

The media always states the opinions of China, but not the opinions of Taiwan. Who cares what China wants, it’s all about what Taiwan wants!!! China is contemplating an invasion of a sovereign country, they should not be recognized as their views matter.
Last time China tried to invade Taiwan they failed miserably. The world needs to support Taiwan in their independence!!! China is another corrupt country and a leach on all world countries. Especially Africa countries, India, should stand tall and fight back. These issues are only getting worse for the independent countries of the world, need to fight China before they may get unstoppable or at least more painful to resist.
