US releases video of dangerous encounter with Chinese warship in Taiwan Strait.

The US Navy released a video showing a Chinese warship deliberately cutting across the path of a US guided-missile destroyer in the Taiwan Strait, which Washington deemed "unsafe." The Chinese ship cut diagonally from the American ship's port side, roughly 150 yards away from the Chung-Hoon's bow, forcing the US ship to slow down to avoid a collision. While the US considers the Taiwan Strait international waters, China views it as part of its own territory. The Chinese Foreign Ministry defended the action, claiming it was done "in accordance with the law."
