US sails warship in Taiwan Strait following China's drills in region
Fox News
The U.S. Navy deployed a warship to the Taiwan Strait on Sunday, the first such maneuver since China ended its military operations surrounding the self-governed island.
The maneuver comes just days after China concluded a series of military drills that saw its forces surround the self-governed island and simulate strikes against it. China's drills came in response to Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen's trip to the U.S. and subsequent meeting with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

China has long claimed to hold sovereignty over the Taiwan Strait and the island itself, something not recognized by the U.S. or international law.
