Two German warships have reportedly waiting for Berlin to determine whether it will be voyated to pass through the Taiwan Strait next month, which may exacerbate the risk of intense relationships with Beijing.

Reuters reported on Monday (August 19) that this will be the first time the German Navy has passed the Taiwan Strait since 2002.The United States and Canada have dispatched warships via the Strait in recent weeks.

The commander of the German Navy Special Forces and Major General Schultz said in an telecommunications interview that "has not made a decision" and added that weather factors will also affect the decision.

Schultz said: "We show our flag here to show that we support our partners and friends. We are committed to the order -based order, peaceful resolution of territorial conflicts, and freedom and security."

Schultz also said that if the warship he commanded through the Taiwan Strait, he did not intend to take any specific safety measures, saying that this was a" normal channel "similar to the" normal channel "that crossed the British Geely Strait or the North Sea.

However, he expects that any passage will be closely monitored."I hope that the Chinese Navy, and may be the coastal guards or maritime militias to escort us," Schultz said it was a common practice.

It is reported that before the next month, it may be through the Taiwan Strait, the Baden-Vattembourg and Frankfurt supply ship plan to stop on Tuesday.They will also stay in South Korea and the Philippines.

The two German warships will also participate in exercises with France, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and the United States in the region.

Reuters pointed out that in the past four years, the Chinese army has increased its activities in the Taiwan Strait.Germany is a major trading partner for mainland China and Taiwan, which has a huge chip industry. With Germany's concerns about Beijing's territorial ambitions, Germany has expanded its military existence with other Western countries in the region.

In 2021, a German warship first crossed the South China Sea for the first time in the past 20 years.The German Air Force sent a fighter to Japan last month to conduct the first joint exercise.
