Beijing “Tones Down” Response after US Warships Sail Through Taiwan Strait
South China Morning Post

29 April 2019

Beijing on Monday “expressed concern” after two US warships passed through the Taiwan Strait, but stopped short of lodging a “stern protest” as it has previously done over similar transits. Collin Koh, a research fellow at the RSIS at NTU Singapore, said the US destroyers’ transit would be broadly seen as a move “deliberately designed by Washington to demonstrate its freedom of navigation to mainland China”.
