China warns US on illegally entering Sea
Chinas military says it tracked and warned away a United States warship that had illegally entered waters it claims in the South China Sea. The US Navy denied Chinas claims, stating that the ship was on a routine operation and left the area of its own accord. In a statement on Thursday, the Southern Theatre Command of the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army PLA said the USS Milius, a guided missile destroyer, intruded into waters around the disputed Paracel Islands.
The US vessel made an illegal incursion into Chinese territorial waters without permission from the Chinese government, harming peace and stability in the region, he said. The theatre forces will maintain a high state of alert at all times and take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and security and peace and stability in the South China Sea, he said.
The US Navy on Thursday disputed the PLA statement, saying the destroyer was conducting routine operations in the South China Sea and was not expelled by Chinese ships. The United States will continue to fly, sail, and operate wherever international law allows, a statement from the US Navy 7th Fleet said. A tweet from the 7th Fleet made no mention of the USS Miliuss encounter with Chinese naval forces.
China claims sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea a strategic waterway through which trade worth trillions of dollars happens annually despite an international court ruling that the assertion has no legal basis. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei have overlapping claims in the sea and they have accused Chinese vessels of harassing their fishing boats in the area.
