TL;DR Summary

The US military has released a video showing a Chinese warship executing maneuvers in an unsafe manner and coming within 150 yards of the USS Chung-Hoon in the Taiwan Strait. China defended its actions, saying it always respects international law. The incident is the latest in a long series of flare-ups between the two countries over Taiwan. The US accused China of violating maritime "rules of the road" and warned that a lack of high-level communication with Beijing risks a flare-up that could "spiral out of control."
