Summary

The Chinese military, specifically the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command, says it monitored and effectively responded to U.S. naval vessels transiting the Taiwan Strait. The PLA described the transit as a 'provocation' and stated it remains on high alert to defend China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. The U.S. Navy regularly conducts such transits, which it describes as routine operations in international waters, but China views them as a challenge to its claim over Taiwan.
