Shi Yi, spokesman for the Chinese Army’s Eastern Region Military Command, said the United States is the main destroyer of peace in the Taiwan Strait.
In a statement released by Shi Yi commenting on the passage of the USS Benfold through the Taiwan Strait on Tuesday and posted on the Chinese Army Military Command’s Eastern District WeChat page, it said: “The constant provocations and proposals from the United States fully show that the United States is a destroyer of peace and stability and a source of security threats in the Taiwan Strait.”
He added that the Chinese military escorted the American destroyer on its way through the Taiwan Strait.
He also noted that the forces of the Eastern Region of the military command have always been on high alert to protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of China.
