Chinese military officials condemned the U.S. Navy after a warplane was seen in international airspace over the Taiwan Strait.
However, Chinese authorities claimed the warplane"deliberately disrupted the regional situation and jeopardized the peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait," in remarks published on the government, a waterway measuring about 110 miles wide that separates Taiwan from continental Asia, have intermittently sprung up between the U.S. and China for years.
Four of the PLA aircraft had crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which was historically marked and used to designate a separation between PRC and Taiwanese waters, on Tuesday morning, according to the defense ministry. Condemning the U.S. warplane's presence over the Taiwan Strait and alleging that the U.S."hyped this publicly," the Chinese military also released a statement that it attributed to Army Senior Colonel Shi Yi, spokesperson for the Chinese PLA Eastern Theater Command, in response to the Poseidon.
Army Senior Colonel Shi Yi, spokesperson for the Chinese PLA Eastern Theater Command said in a statement released by the military that"the PLA Eastern Theater Command had organized troops to track and monitor the US aircraft in the whole course, and had everything under control.
"The United States will continue to fly, sail, and operate anywhere international law allows including within the Taiwan Strait," the Navy stated."By operating within the Taiwan Strait in accordance with international law, the United States upholds the navigational rights and freedoms of all nations."
