US warship asserts presence in Taiwan Strait after China's military exercises.

The US Navy's USS Milius sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Sunday, in what the navy described as a routine transit to demonstrate Washington's commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. China, which views Taiwan as its own territory, has not commented on the move. The US Navy sails warships through the Taiwan Strait around once a month, and also regularly conducts similar freedom of navigation missions in the disputed South China Sea. China has continued its military activities around Taiwan since the drills ended, though on a reduced scale.
