US denies claims that Beijing’s navy had driven away an American guided-missile destroyer from operating around the Paracels, saying it was doing routine patrol in the South China Sea’s international waters
Beijing claims USS Milius “illegally entered" its"territorial waters without approval" but the US said it was conducting routine operations in international waters off the disputed Paracel Islands.
The US Navy's 7th Fleet said that a statement from China's Southern Theatre Command that it had forced the USS Milius away from waters around the Paracel Islands — called Xisha by China — was “false.” Bakic would not comment on whether the ship had been operating in immediate proximity of the Paracel Islands, which are in the South China Sea a few hundred kilometers off the coast of Vietnam and the Chinese province of Hainan, or whether there had been any sort of a confrontation.Col.
China claims ownership over virtually the entire strategic waterway, through which around $5 trillion in global trade transits each year and which holds highly valuable fish stocks and undersea mineral resources.Chinese ships have also been accused by neighbouring countries like Vietnam and the Philippines of repeatedly violating its exclusive economic zones.
