TL;DR Summary

The US Navy has released a video showing a Chinese navy ship conducting an "unsafe" maneuver in the Taiwan Strait, forcing the American destroyer USS Chung-Hoon to slow down to avoid a collision. The incident occurred during a "freedom of navigation" transit of the strait between Taiwan and mainland China. China claims Taiwan as part of its own territory and maintains the strait is part of its exclusive economic zone, while the US and its allies regularly sail through and fly over the passage to emphasize their contention that the waters are international.
