Theater troops maintain a high level of alert at all times and will resolutely defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a brief statement, the U.S. 7th Fleet said a Navy P-8A Poseidon transited the Taiwan Strait in international airspace on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe United States will continue to fly, sail, and operate anywhere international law allows including within the Taiwan Strait,\u201d it said. \u201cBy operating within the Taiwan Strait in accordance with international law, the United States upholds the navigational rights and freedoms of all nations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The flight comes as tensions between the sides have spiked over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2023\/02\/04\/us-downs-chinese-balloon-a-flashpoint-in-us-china-tensions\/\" target=\"_blank\">shooting down of a suspected Chinese spy

target=\"_blank\">not to provide Russia with military<\/a> aid to help its war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China regularly sends warships into waters near Taiwan and fighters and other military aircraft into its air defense buffer zone in an attempt to intimidate the island\u2019s pro-independence government and its U.S. supporters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. 7th Fleet said a U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon transited the Taiwan Strait in international airspace on
