China susține că o navă de război americană a intrat ilegal în apele sale și trimite forțe navale în întâmpinarea sa

China has claimed that a U.S. warship illegally entered its waters near a disputed sandbank in the South China Sea, prompting Beijing to dispatch naval forces to monitor the situation. The Chinese military stated that the USS Charleston violated its sovereignty, while the U.S. typically conducts such operations as freedom of navigation missions. Meanwhile, Taiwan reported a separate confrontation with a Chinese coast guard vessel near the Pratas Islands, asserting its sovereignty. The tensions in the region continue to escalate, particularly between China and the Philippines over territorial disputes.
