— Two US warships have sailed through the Taiwan Strait, Taipei’s defense ministry said Thursday, in an operation bound to provoke a rebuke from Beijing.
Taiwan’s military ”was closely monitoring the whole process and movements in our neighboring sea and air space according to the protocol to maintain regional peace and stability,” it said. China sees Taiwan as part of its territory to be reunified, despite the two sides being ruled separately since the end of a civil war on the mainland in 1949.
Enough of all this “US Warships sail here...sail there...” stories. It doesn’t mean anything. The US is not gonna go to war with its biggest trade partner and China is not gonna do the same.
