China Places Country Dangerously Close To United States Warship by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

The United States military has released video footage of a Chinese navy ship cutting across the path of an American Destroyer in the Taiwan Strait over the weekend, reportedly forcing the United States vessel to slow down to avoid a collision.

A statement on the incident from United States Indo-Pacific Command says the Chinese ship "executed maneuvers in an unsafe manner" in the presence of United States and Canadian warships during a "routine south to north Taiwan Strait transit" by the naval forces of those nations, coming as close as 150 yards from the American vessel.

Now, I know what you are thinking: what is a Chinese navy vessel doing in the Taiwan Strait, right where United States and Canadian warships are peacefully conducting routine navigation exercises?

Well I do not know if this news will be as shocking to you as it is to me, but it turns out that China has somehow managed to place its country immediately adjacent to the Taiwan Strait, and is now only 100 miles from Taiwan itself. This narrow channel of water was the only space the United States and Canadian navies were given to travel through, placing them dangerously close to Chinese warships, and to the country of China.

China has yet to issue a formal apology for menacing the United States navy with the unsafe maneuverings of both its battleship and its geographical location.

Noting in its statement that it was acting "in accordance with international law" at the time of the incident, United States Indo-Pacific Command says that its transit "demonstrates the combined United States-Canadian commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific," adding that the United States military "flies, sails, and operates safely and responsibly anywhere international law allows."

Which is of course true. These are international waters after all, and the Chinese navy should therefore stay out of the way of United States military vessels traveling through them, just as the United States navy would stay out of the way of Chinese military forces traveling a few miles off the coast of California or transiting between the islands of Hawaii. The United States is only asking for the same freedom of navigation it would afford anyone else.

We saw another incident of Chinas aggressive and dangerous terrestrial placement on the 26th of May, when a United States spy plane was buzzed by a Chinese fighter jet during peaceful surveillance operations over the South China Sea. A statement by United States Indo-Pacific Command called the incident "an unnecessarily aggressive maneuver" which interrupted the "safe and routine operations" of the spy plane.

What the hell is going on here? What is a Chinese fighter jet doing all the way over in the South China Sea?

Obviously Chinese fighter jets have no business operating in that region, especially when their movements endanger the United States spy planes who are flying their peaceful missions there.

But as with the Taiwan Strait, the imperialist aggressions of the Chinese Communist Party have been so expansionist in nature that the South China Sea now sits immediately adjacent to mainland China.

Here is hoping that China stops with its brazen aggressions against the United States military forces who are minding their own business in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, stops endangering poor defenseless warships and spy planes by moving through waters and airspace they have no business entering in the first place, and starts respecting the rules-based global sovereignty of the United States of America!!
