China accused the U.S. of staging a show of force by sailing two Navy warships through the Taiwan Strait on Thursday morning.
The Navy said the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS John S. McCain and USS Curtis Wilbur “conducted a routine Taiwan Strait transit” in accordance with international law.
Their movement “demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific,” the Navy said in a statement on its website.
But China’s Defense Ministry called the move a “show of force” and a provocation that “sent the wrong signal to the ‘Taiwan independence forces’ and seriously endangered peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait area.”

Heath and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said a few weeks ago the administration was aiming to give 20 million people the coronavirus vaccine before the end of the year.
