China protested against US after passage warships across the Taiwan Strait.
US Navy destroyer Kidd and Coast Guard sniper Munro crossed the strait on August 27. According to the military, they made the transition in international waters.
“Taiwan is an integral part of China, and the Taiwan issue is an exclusively internal matter for China that does not allow for any external intervention,” said Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Tan Kefei.
Kefei said the United States was a major threat to stability and peace in the Taiwan Strait, creating major security risks. He also noted that this was not the first provocation of a “very bad nature.”
Beijing also demanded that Washington recognize Taiwan as part of China.
