The Chinese Armed Forces are on high alert.
The fact is that US Navy cruisers have been spotted off Taiwan. In particular, warships passed through the Taiwan Strait.
MIA Rossiya Segodnya reported this with reference to a statement by Shi Yi, a representative of the Eastern Zone Combat Command of the People’s Liberation Army of China.
According to his information, the American cruisers Chancellorsville and Antietam passed through the Taiwan Strait on August 28.
The PLA Eastern Combat Command Zone escorted the American cruisers and exercised full control over their activities, Shi Yi said.
According to him, the Chinese army is currently in a state of heightened combat readiness in order to quickly “stop any provocations.”
Earlier, Reuters reported about the passage of two American warships through the Taiwan Strait, citing three US officials.
