USA announced on Monday that a missile-launched destroyer is sailing the waters near some islands in More South China that Beijing is at war with the countries of the region, in the face of a full escalation of tension due to China’s high-intensity military maneuvers around Taiwan.
According to a statement released this Monday by the Seventh Fleet US Navythe Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Milius sails “close” to the Spratly Islands, which China disputes with the Philippines, TaiwanMalaysia, Vietnam and Brunei during an exercise in defense of “freedom of navigation in accordance with international law.”
Specifically, the text adds that the ship is conducting “normal operations” within twelve nautical miles (the limit set by the UN for denoting a state’s sovereignty over maritime territories) of Mischief Reef, in the Spratly, which is occupied by China and disputed by Taiwan, the Philippines and Vietnam.
“illegal claims at sea South China pose a serious threat to freedom of navigation,” the US statement said, with a veiled reference to Beijing.
Delivery of US destroyer comes amid escalating tensions between China And USAas Beijing stopped a large-scale military exercise around Taiwan today in response to last Wednesday’s meeting in California, USA, between Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen and Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy.
Besides, Taiwanself-governing island, which Beijing does not rule out invasion, and the sea South Chinarich in natural resources and almost entirely claimed by China, were the targets of the US in its recent agreement with the Philippines to expand a defense agreement that allows its troops to operate from four new military bases in the Asian archipelago.
Philippine authorities revealed the location of these new bases a week ago, including two less than 400 kilometers from Taiwan and another facing the disputed South China Sea.

He chinese army condemned the passage this Monday of the US destroyer USS Milius through Mischief Reef and called the invasion illegal because it did not receive the approval of the Chinese government.
People’s Liberation Army (PLA, Chinese Army) spokesman Tian Junli Yingeng said in a statement posted on the website of the Ministry of Defense that the PLA’s Southern Theater of Operations has organized “naval and air forces to track and warn” the US warship.
The representative stated that China has “indisputable sovereignty” over the islands of the Sea South China and adjacent waters.
“The forces of the Southern Theater will always maintain a high alert and will take all necessary measures to resolutely defend national sovereignty and security,” the spokesman added.
