Hey friends! 🌟 Have you heard about the Taiwan Strait? It’s a narrow stretch of water between the Chinese mainland and the island of Taiwan. Recently, two U.S. ships sailed through this strait, and China wasn’t pleased about it.
Here’s what happened: The United States sent a warship and a survey ship through the Taiwan Strait. China thought this was not okay. Senior Colonel Li Xi, a spokesperson for the Eastern Theater Command of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), said that this action sent the wrong message and could increase security risks.
China’s military watched the U.S. ships very closely during their entire journey through the strait. They wanted to protect their country’s sovereignty and keep the region peaceful.
Other Chinese officials also spoke about this. They reminded everyone that Taiwan is an inseparable part of China. They urged the U.S. to be careful and not give any support to forces that want Taiwan to be independent.
This situation shows how countries can sometimes disagree on important issues. It’s important for nations to communicate and work together to keep the world safe and peaceful. 🌏
