Tensions rise as US releases video of close encounter with Chinese warship.

The US military released a video of a "unsafe" Chinese maneuver in the Taiwan Strait, in which a Chinese navy ship cut sharply across the path of an American destroyer, forcing the US vessel to slow to avoid a collision. The incident occurred during a "freedom of navigation" transit of the strait between Taiwan and mainland China. The Chinese ship did not attempt a similar maneuver on the Canadian frigate, which was sailing behind the American destroyer. The close-calls have raised concerns of a possible accident that could lead to an escalation between the two countries' militaries at a time when tensions in the region are already high.

"Video captures tense near-collision between US and Chinese warships"

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.

Tensions rise as US and Chinese warships narrowly avoid collision in Taiwan Strait.

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."

Tensions rise as US and Chinese warships narrowly avoid collision in Taiwan Strait.

The US Navy has released a video of a Chinese navy ship cutting sharply across the path of an American destroyer in the Taiwan Strait, forcing the US vessel to slow to avoid a collision. The incident occurred as the American destroyer and Canadian frigate were conducting a "freedom of navigation" transit of the strait between Taiwan and mainland China. The Chinese ship overtook the American destroyer on its port side then veered across its bow at a distance of some 150 yards, violating maritime rules of safe passage in international waters. The incident has raised concerns of a possible accident that could lead to an escalation between the two countries' militaries at a time when tensions in the region are already high.
