The Chinese ship "executed maneuvers in a dangerous manner near the Chung-Hoon," the U.S. Navy says.
The Chinese military said it monitored the passage of the two ships, but did not mention any incidents. The incident occurred less than 10 days after an aerial incident between the two countries in the region. The Pentagon has expressed concern about China's "increasingly risky" actions in Asia, including in the Taiwan Strait.. The USS Chung-hoon was sailing with the Canadian ship HMCS Montreal through the 180-kilometre-wide Taiwan Strait that separates the autonomous island of the same name from mainland China.
