TL;DR Summary

A Chinese Navy ship came within 150 yards of a US missile destroyer transiting the Taiwan Strait in an "unsafe manner," according to the US military. This is the second close encounter between American and Chinese military assets in less than 10 days. The incident occurred as the USS Chung-Hoon sailed through the Taiwan Strait with a Canadian warship in a joint mission through the sensitive waterway that separates self-ruled Taiwan from China. Tensions between Washington and Beijing have soared this year over issues including Taiwan and an alleged Chinese spy balloon that was shot down after it traversed the US.
