Air Force Colonel Zhang Chunhui, spokesperson for the Eastern Theater Command, said that on February 4, the US guided missile destroyer "McCain" crossed the Taiwan Strait and publicly speculated.
The Eastern Theater of the Chinese People's Liberation Army tracked and monitored it throughout the entire process.
This move by the US is a repeat of its old trick of "mixed manipulation" of the situation across the Taiwan Strait, deliberately creating tensions and disrupting regional peace and stability.
We strongly oppose this.
No matter how the situation in the Taiwan Strait changes, theater troops will loyally perform their duties and missions, resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and firmly maintain peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
