Chinese warship nearly hits U.S. destroyer in Taiwan Strait

A Chinese warship came dangerously close to the U.S. Navy's guided-missile destroyer USS Chung-Hoon during a joint Canada-U.S. naval mission in the Taiwan Strait on Saturday. The Canadian frigate HMCS Montreal was nearby at the time. U.S. officials called the move “unsafe,” while China accused the U.S and its allies of "provocation" for holding the exercises.
