'Maker Of Security Risks': China warns USS Benfold as it transits Taiwan Strait

US destroyer - USS Benfold's 'routine' transit in the Taiwan Strait has angered China. The People's Liberation Army's Eastern Theatre Command said in a statement that its forces had followed the ship throughout and warned it. "The frequent provocations and showing off by the United States fully demonstrate that the United States is a destroyer of peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and a maker of security risks in the Taiwan Strait," it said in a statement. The United States has been carrying out such voyages about once a month, angering China, which views them as a sign of support for Taiwan, the democratically governed island that Beijing views as Chinese territory.
