By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Today, China said that the United States endangered peace and stability when a U.S. military aircraft flew through the Taiwan Strait, the Associated Press reports.
China says that the U.S., “deliberately disrupted and undermined the regional situation.”
On social media, the People’s Liberation Army’s Eastern Theater Command said the U.S. “endangered peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.”
“We firmly oppose this. Theater troops maintain a high level of alert at all times and will resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” it added.
The U.S. said that a Navy P-8A Poseidon transited the Taiwan Strait in international airspace.
“The United States will continue to fly, sail, and operate anywhere international law allows including within the Taiwan Strait,” a statement noted.
“By operating within the Taiwan Strait in accordance with international law, the United States upholds the navigational rights and freedoms of all nations,” it added.
There have been heightened tensions following the recent shooting down of a suspected Chinese spy balloon over U.S. airspace.
Taiwan has also recorded Chinese warships near Taiwan and military aircraft into its air defense buffer zone referring to this as “intimidation and provocation”.
