A near collision between a Chinese military ship and an American destroyer in the Taiwan Strait. The information was disclosed by the Canadian website Global News, which had a journalist on board the Canadian frigate participating in the joint mission with the US in the waters of the South China Sea. According to the reconstruction of the site, the Chinese ship accelerated the cut ahead of the bow of the destroyer USS Chung-Hoon, in a maneuver that the commander of the Canadian ship HMCS Montreal defined as “unprofessional”.
When the Chinese ship changed course, it notified the US ship to stand aside to avoid collision, at which point the Americans in turn would have asked the Chinese to stand clear, in the end they had to change course to avoid collision. For the Canadian commander, Captain Paul Mountford, the incident was “clearly caused by the Chinese”. “The fact that it was announced over the radio clearly shows that it was intentional,” he added.
