Another military incident between Beijing and Washington, the Chinese ship risks colliding with the American fleet

A Chinese warship came within 137 meters and dangerously close to a US destroyer in the Taiwan Strait, the US Indo-Pacific Command announced on Saturday. But China accused the United States of "deliberate provocation" in the region.

The US and Canadian navies were conducting a rare joint exercise between the two countries in the strait when the Chinese vessel came in front of the USS Chung-Hoon, forcing it to slow down to avoid a collision.

The People's Republic of China claims Taiwan as its territory. Taiwan's government says Beijing has never ruled the island, and President Joe Biden has said the US will defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion.

The US Navy's 7th Fleet said the USS Chung-Hoon and Canada's Montreal were conducting a "routine" transit trip in the strait on Saturday.
