The Chinese army claims to have escorted a U.S. Navy ship that invaded Chinese territorial waters near the area of military exercises in the South China Sea. This was reported by the Global Times.
Representative of the People’s Liberation Army of China Colonel Li Huamin said that the U.S. missile destroyer Mustin violated the boundary of territorial waters of China in the Paracel Islands. According to him, the command of the southern theater of PLA used air and sea means to “detect, identify and warn about the need to leave the area.”
