According to the People's Daily, it is reported that the US Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer "Milieus" sailed through the Taiwan Strait on the 23rd. At the Foreign Ministry's regular press conference on the same day, spokesman Zhao Lijian said in response to relevant questions that China paid close attention to and grasped the situation throughout the process. Recently, US warships have repeatedly flaunted their strength and provoked provocations in the Taiwan Strait under the guise of "freedom of navigation." This is not a "promise of freedom and openness", but a deliberate interference and destruction of regional peace and stability. The international community can see it clearly. China's determination to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity is unswerving. The US side should immediately correct its mistakes, stop picking quarrels and provoking troubles, cross the line and play with fire, and play a constructive role in regional peace and stability.
