The United States military flies, sails and operates anywhere international law allows,\u201d the Navy\u2019s statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taiwan\u2019s Ministry of National Defense said the ship sailed through the strait from south to north and that the military had monitored the surrounding waters and airspace and concluded that the situation was \u201cnormal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China\u2019s coast guard described the Stratton\u2019s transit through the Taiwan Strait as \u201cpublic hype\u201d and said Chinese coast guard ships tailed the ship the entire way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Chinese coast guard will strengthen patrol law enforcement in waters under China\u2019s jurisdiction, and resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and maritime rights and interests,\u201d a Chinese coast guard statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China has stepped up its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/04\/10\/china-military-ready-to-fight-after-drills-near-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\">military activities around Taiwan<\/a>&nbsp;in recent months amid deteriorating U.S.-China ties, with Taiwan reporting Chinese military activities in the strait almost daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China claims Taiwan as its own territory to be brought under its control by force if necessary and regularly sends ships and warplanes into airspace and waters near the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this month, the U.S. military released video of what it called an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/video\/2023\/06\/05\/chinese-warship-cuts-off-us-vessel-in-high-seas-incident\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cunsafe\u201d Chinese maneuver<\/a>&nbsp;in the Taiwan Strait, in which a Chinese navy ship cut sharply across the path of an American destroyer conducting a \u201cfreedom of navigation\u201d transit, forcing the U.S. vessel to slow to avoid a collision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Stratton conducted a \u201croutine Taiwan Strait transit\u201d on June 20, according to the
