The incident occurred during a routine transit of the strait by the USS Chung-Hoon and Canada\u2019s HSMC Montreal, with the Chinese vessel coming inside 137 metres of the US ship. The video reveals the Chinese warship crossing the trail of the Chung-Hoon, which does not change course. A voice warns the Chinese ship against \u201cattempts to restrict freedom of navigation\u201d, though the total message is unclear as a end result of wind noise.<br\/>China has in a roundabout way addressed the US criticism of the encounter, and its international ministry didn&#8217;t reply to a request for comment. On Saturday evening, China\u2019s army accused the US and Canada of \u201cdeliberately provoking risk\u201d with their joint sailing. Chinese navy commentator Song Zhongping acknowledged that the \u201cpoint clean interception\u201d demonstrated the capabilities and \u201ccourage\u201d of China\u2019s navy. \u201cThe more intensified the provocation from the US, the stronger the countermeasures from China,\u201d Song added.<br\/>This incident follows one other recent encounter, the place a Chinese fighter jet performed an \u201cunnecessarily aggressive\u201d manoeuvre near a US navy airplane over the South China Sea in worldwide airspace. Derek Grossman, a senior defence analyst on the RAND Corporation, believes Beijing has instructed its forces to respond extra assertively against perceived encroachments by US and allied forces. \u201cBy doing so,  <a href=\"http:\/\/topheadlinesnow.xyz\">Well respected<\/a>  is just rising the chances for miscalculation \u2013 specifically ships or aircraft by chance colliding \u2013 that would then spiral into armed conflict,\u201d he warned.<br\/>In 2001, a US spy airplane made an emergency touchdown on China\u2019s Hainan island following a collision with a Chinese fighter jet, resulting within the death of the Chinese pilot. Taiwan\u2019s defence ministry has labelled China\u2019s actions with the US and Canadian ships as a \u201cprovocation\u201d and emphasised the shared accountability of free and democratic nations to maintain peace and stability in the strait. \u201cAny actions to increase tension and hazard is not going to contribute to regional security,\u201d the ministry said in a release, urging China to respect the right to freedom of navigation..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US Navy has shared a video highlighting an \u201cunsafe interaction\u201d within the Taiwan Strait, as a Chinese warship crossed dangerously close to a US destroyer, raising considerations amid strained Sino-US relations.
