[Washington, 14th Archyde.com]-The US State Department said on the 14th that the Taiwan Strait supports Taiwan’s claim that it is an international waters. In recent years, not only US ships but also ships of allies such as Britain and Canada have passed through the Taiwan Strait, and China has repelled.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 13th that “(China) has sovereignty, sovereignty and jurisdiction over the Taiwan Strait.” “It is a false claim to call the Taiwan Strait the’international waters’ to help certain countries take advantage of Taiwan-related issues and find excuses that threaten China’s sovereignty and security.”

“The Taiwan Strait is an international body of water, which means that international law covers the freedom of the high seas, including freedom of navigation and overpass,” US State Department spokesman Price said in an email to Archyde.com.

He also expressed concern about China’s aggressive behavior over Taiwan, and said that the United States would continue to fly and navigate within the scope of international law, including the passage through the Taiwan Strait.

A spokesman for the Taiwan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) pointed out on the 14th that the Chinese side’s allegations were “wrong.”
