A week after China flew a record sortie of 28 fighter jets into Taiwan’s air defense zone, the U.S. Navy on Tuesday sent a guided-missile destroyer through the narrow strait dividing the island from mainland China.
The guided missile destroyer USS Curtis Wilbur’s “routine” transit through the Taiwan Strait “demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific,” the Navy said in a news release Tuesday.
