Tensions rise as Chinese warship sails dangerously close to US destroyer in Taiwan Strait.
A Chinese warship sailed dangerously close to a US Navy destroyer in the Taiwan Strait on Saturday, crossing in front of the American ship's bow at 150 yards. The US Indo-Pacific Command said the Chinese ship, the Luyang III, was operating in an "unsafe manner." The incident comes amid heightened tensions between the US and China, and follows the February shootdown of a Chinese spy balloon after it transited the US.
