Chinese Warship nearly hits American Destroyer in Taiwan Strait, during joint Canada-U.S. mission
Global News has been travelling on the HMCS Montreal, the Canadian frigate participating in the mission, since May 25th in theA People’s Liberation Navy ship, picked up considerable speed and cut in front of the bow of the Chung-Hoon, a maneuverWhen the Chinese vessel altered their course, Mountford says they called the American ship and told them to move or there would be a collision.
“The fact this was announced over the radio prior to doing it, clearly indicated this was intentional.”The Chung-Hoon and Montreal have been sailing together in the South China Sea for nearly a week prior to entering the Taiwan Strait. Global News has seen Chinese warships shadowing the Canadian vessel on multiple occasions, during its transit.
The Chinese did not attempt a similar maneuver on HMCS Montreal but one of the two war ships that was in the area, did sail within 1,000 yards of the Canadian ship, a distance that Mountford believed was safe. The Chinese told both the Canadian and American ships over radio systems, that they are entering Chinese territory, despite the joint mission taking place in internationally recognized waters, according to Mountford.“I am hoping that is an isolated incident that won’t happen again for us, because we have international law on our side,” Mountford told Global News. “This is international waters.”
