China criticizes the British warships HMS Spey Sailt in the Taiwan Strait

The army in China described the last passage of ships the British war through the Taiwan Strait, a disturbing “deliberate provocation” that “undermines peace and stability.”

The British Royal Navy says that the HMS Spey patrol was on Wednesday was part of the deployment of a long -term plan and was according to international law.

The patrol – the first by a British naval ship four years ago – comes when a set of strikes from the UK transport companies arrives to the region for several months.

China Taiwan considers its territory – the claim that the self -defined Taiwan rejects – and has not ruled out the use of force “to reunite” the island.

China criticized the United Kingdom for “publicly saving” the HMS Spey trip, and said that the UK claims “distort legal principles and try to mislead the public.”

“Such measures are deliberate provocations that disrupt the situation and undermine peace and stability through the Taiwan Strait.”

He added that she watched HMS SPY throughout her journey in the strait, and she would face the Chinese forces “firmly threatens all threats and provocations.”

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Taiwan praised the patrol as a work that protects freedom of navigation in the Taiwan Strait.

While the American warships regularly do freedom of navigation in the strait, it was the last time a British naval ship carried out in 2021 when a HMS Richmond warship was deployed in Vietnam.

This crossing was similarly condemned by China, which sent forces to monitor the ship.

HMS Spey is one of the permanent British warships in the Indian Pacific patrol.

Its passage comes across the Taiwan Strait as the UK carrier jacket, led by HMS Prince of Wales, to the India and Pacific region for eight months.

British Prime Minister Kiir Starmer described it as one of the largest publishing operations in the carrier in this century, which aims to “send a clear message from power to our opponents, the message of unity and purpose to our allies.”

About 4000 military personnel in the UK participate in publishing.

The group will participate with 30 countries through military operations and visits, and to conduct exercises with the United States, India, Singapore and Malaysia.

Crossed tensions between China and Taiwan have increased over the past year since Taiwanese President Lay Cheng Tim took over, which slows down a strong position to combat Beijing, his position.

Beijing has described as a “foreign hostile force” and presented policies targeting Chinese influence in Taiwan.

Meanwhile, China continues to conduct frequent military exercises in the Taiwan Strait, including the April fire exercise, as strikes have claimed simulation on the main ports and energy facilities.

The latest criticism of China to cross HMS SPY comes at a time when two Chinese planes carry unprecedented military exercises in the Pacific Ocean off the waters of Japan, Which caused Tokyo’s concern.
