Chinese warship comes within 150 yards of U.S. missile destroyer in Taiwan Strait

A Chinese Navy ship maneuvered in an "unsafe manner" near an American destroyer transiting the Taiwan Strait, the U.S. military said Saturday.

Video taken by Canadian news outlet Global News showed the Chinese warship speeding towards the USS Chung-Hoon. It came within 150 yards of the American destroyer, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command said in a statement.

It is the second close encounter between American and Chinese military assets in less than 10 days, following what the U.S. military said was an "unnecessarily aggressive maneuver" by one of Beijing's fighter's near one of Washington's surveillance planes last week.
