Chinese warship's dangerous encounter with US destroyer in Taiwan Strait
A Chinese warship came within 150 yards of a US destroyer in the Taiwan Strait in "an unsafe manner," according to US military officials, as China blamed the US for "deliberately provoking risk" in the region. The US and Canadian navies were conducting a joint exercise in the strait when the Chinese ship cut in front of the US guided-missile destroyer Chung-Hoon, forcing it to slow down to avoid a collision. The maritime encounter was the latest close call between the Chinese and US military.
