The American destroyer held its course, but reduced speed to 10 knots \u201cto avoid a collision,\u201d the military said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The video released Monday shows the Chinese ship cutting across the course of the American one, then straightening out to start sailing in a parallel direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Indo-Pacific Command said the actions violated maritime rules of safe passage in international water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chinese ship did not attempt a similar maneuver on the Canadian frigate, which was sailing behind the American destroyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChung-Hoon and Montreal\u2019s transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the combined U.S.-Canadian commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific,\u201d the Indo-Pacific Command said. \u201cThe U.S. military flies, sails, and operates safely and responsibly anywhere international law allows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin defended the maneuver, saying it was undertaken \u201cin accordance with the law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChina\u2019s military actions are completely justified, lawful, safe and professional,\u201d he told reporters in Beijing. \u201cIt is the U.S. that should deeply reflect upon itself and correct the wrongdoings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. recently accused China of also performing an \u201cunnecessarily aggressive maneuver\u201d in the air, saying a Chinese J-16 fighter jet late last month <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/china\/2023\/05\/30\/video-shows-chinese-fighter-jet-flying-close-to-us-aircraft\/\" target=\"_blank\">flew directly in front of the nose of a U.S. Air Force reconnaissance aircraft <\/a>over the South China Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The close-calls have raised concerns of a possible accident that could lead to an escalation between the two countries\u2019 militaries at a time when tensions in the region are already high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incident in the Taiwan Strait came on a day when both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2023\/06\/03\/austin-seeks-meeting-with-china-says-right-time-to-talk-is-now\/\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Chinese Defense Minister Gen. Li Shangfu<\/a> were in Singapore for an annual defense conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Li on Sunday suggested that the U.S. and its allies have created the danger with their patrols, and was intent on provoking China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe best way is for the countries, especially the naval vessels and fighter jets of countries, not to do closing actions around other countries\u2019 territories,\u201d he said through an interpreter. \u201cWhat\u2019s the point of going there? In China we always say, \u2018Mind your own business.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Austin had invited Li to talk on the sidelines of the conference; Li refused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States military has released video of what it called an \u201cunsafe\u201d Chinese maneuver in the Taiwan
