Tensions rise between US and China over military maneuvers.
TL;DR Summary
China's defense minister accused the US and its allies of destabilizing the Indo-Pacific region and provoking bloc confrontation for self-interest. This came just hours after a near collision between US and Chinese warships in the Taiwan Strait. The US accused the Chinese warship of cutting in front of an American vessel, forcing it to slow down to avoid a collision. The incident is the second time in two weeks that Chinese military personnel have engaged in aggressive maneuvers in the vicinity of US military personnel near China’s border.
