US Navy challenges China's militarization in South China Sea.
TL;DR Summary
The US Navy has sailed a destroyer within 12 nautical miles of Mischief Reef, a contested island in the South China Sea that China has fortified with military installations to stake its territorial claims on the region. The sailing came as the Chinese military entered a third day of a show of force around Taiwan, a thousand miles away near the northern entrance to the South China Sea, in response to a brief visit by Taiwan’s President to the United States. The US contends such actions are in violation of the Law of the Sea Convention.
