Hong Kong (CNN) – The United States Marina is sending a destroyer of guided missiles through the Straits of Taiwan to the Jews, the first time that a block of stadium warfare has reached the fluctuating air that separates China and Taiwan during the administration of Biden.
The USS John S McCain, based in Japan, conducted the routine transit agreement with the international court, said the tenant Joe Keiley, spokesman for the Seventh Fleet of the United States Marina, in a statement.
“The transit of barges through the Straits of Taiwan demonstrates the United States’ compromise with a free and open Indo-Pacific.” The United States Ejército will continue flying, navigating and operating where it permits international law, ”Keiley said.
The theme of an autonomous Taiwan is one of the first major foreign policy challenges facing EE.UU President Joe Biden.
Beijing advertises total sovereignty over Taiwan, a democracy of 24 million people living in the southernmost coast of mainland China, and having two territories governed separately for more than a decade.
In the first week of the presidency of Biden, China sent large-scale aircraft training operations near Iceland, where Taipei was deploying defense equipment, including combat aircraft to monitor Chinese flights.
Beijing considers that the war zones of transit that are transiting the Taiwan Strait are provoking the establishment of stability in the region to align with the parties of the Taiwan Independence.
The last traffic accident in the year of New Year when the USS John McCain and a second destroyer, the USS Curtis Wilbur, will cross the line, according to the declarations of the United States Marina.
Buccaneer war transits will be transmitted by the fluctuating 13 weeks in 2020, according to the EE.UU’s Seventh Fleet, the mayor’s number of times from the 12 transits made in 2016, the last year of President Barack Obama’s administration.
United States has shown a strong compromise on Taiwan’s defense during President Donald Trump’s administration to approve the sale of sophisticated military equipment in Taipei, including F-16 fighter jets, advanced missiles and major battle tanks, while committing further level a la isla.
Recent statements from the Biden administration suggest that no action will be taken in these actions.
“Has had a bipartisan forged and prolonged compromise with Taiwan”, said the new United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, in his hearing last week. “Part of this compromise is to ensure that Taiwan has the ability to defend against aggression. And this is a compromise that would absolutely pervert a Biden administration ».
