Hey there! Have you heard about the UK ship sailing through the Taiwan Strait? Let’s find out what happened! 🌊
The HMS Spey, a patrol ship from the United Kingdom, sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Wednesday. This is a narrow body of water that separates Taiwan from the Chinese mainland.
The Chinese military, called the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), watched the ship closely as it passed. A spokesperson for the PLA Eastern Theater Command Navy, Senior Colonel Liu Runke, said they monitored the UK ship and handled the situation well.
Liu mentioned that actions like this might affect the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait. The PLA stays alert to protect China’s national sovereignty (which means the country’s authority) and territorial integrity (keeping the country whole).
The UK stated that their ship’s journey was legal and followed international laws. Different countries sometimes have different views on these matters.
