US politician Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan exacerbated the conflict with China. US warships are now supposed to demonstrate “the commitment” of the USA.
Two US warships crossed the Taiwan Strait on Sunday. As the US Navy’s 7th Fleet announced on Twitter, the operation of the guided missile cruisers USS Antietam and USS Chancellorsville demonstrates “the United States’ commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific”.
It is the first time since US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan that US forces have sent warships through the Taiwan Straits. The People’s Republic of China responded to the US politician’s visit in early August with military maneuvers lasting several days.
The Ministry of Defense in Taipei said in a statement on Sunday that it was closely monitoring the passage of the two US warships and found no unusual activity.
Beijing regards the democratic island of Taiwan as part of its territory and rejects any form of official contacts between Taiwan and other countries.
