US Aegis cruiser crosses the Taiwan Strait, aiming for Chinese fighting, November 13 14:27
The US Navy has revealed that the Aegis cruiser has passed through the Taiwan Strait on the 12th, and it seems that there is an aim to control China before the defense talks between the US and China that are expected in the middle of this month.
The US Navy 7th Fleet revealed to NHK that the Aegis cruiser “Chancellorsville” passed through the Taiwan Strait on the 12th of local time.
The 7th Fleet says, “The United States demonstrates its commitment to the free and open Indo-Pacific, and the US Navy continues to navigate and fly wherever it is allowed by international law.” I am commenting.
It is the 9th time since the beginning of September that the US Navy ships passed through the Taiwan Strait.
The US Secretary of Defense, Esper, is coordinating with the Defense Minister of China in the middle of this month in line with the ASEAN = Southeast Asian Union Confederation of Defense Ministers meeting in Bangkok, Thailand.
According to a Pentagon official, the talks are likely to discuss issues surrounding Taiwan, where China is under pressure, and the South China Sea, which is moving to a military base. There seems to be an aim to control China.
