The missile destroyer Valian Bull; Ebull; Meyer launched a free navigation mission in the South China Sea region on August 28, local time.The Meyer entered the range of 12 nautical miles of Yongshu Reef and the Meiji Reef, in order to challenge some of the propositions of the waters jurisdiction of international law.The U.S. military's activities in the Indo -Pacific region, including the South China Sea, started in a daily operation.All tasks should conform to international law and aims to show that the United States can fly freely, sail and launch tasks within the jurisdiction of international law.
The statement emphasizes that the mission of free navigation is not aimed at a specific country, nor is it to issue a political statement.However, only 13 countries such as China were freely sailed in the United States last year.Foreign Ministry spokesman Hua Chunying responded on April 26. The so -called freedom of navigation highlights the logic of the United States attempting to dominate marine order, as well as the hegemonic logic of the use of international law and the abandonment of the United States.
