This is disputed territory claimed by Vietnam, Taiwan, and China. The Chinese claimed that their naval and air assets caused the USS Wilbur to depart Paracel Island waters. The US Navy stated that the ship was sailing in accordance with international law and was not chased away.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From the American Military News:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;USS Curtis Wilbur conducted this [freedom of navigation operation] in accordance with international law and then continued on to conduct normal operations in international waters. The operation reflects our commitment to upholding freedom of navigation and lawful uses of the sea as a principle. The United States will continue to fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows, as USS Curtis Wilbur did here,&#8221; the U.S. Navy said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The PLA&#8217;s statement is the latest in a long string of PRC actions to misrepresent lawful U.S. maritime operations and asserts its excessive and illegitimate maritime claims at the expense in the Southeast Asian neighbors in the South China Sea. The PRC&#8217;s behavior stands in contrast to the United States&#8217; adherence to international law and our vision for a free and open Indo-Pacific region. All nations, large and small, should be secure in their sovereignty, free from coercion, and able to pursue economic growth consistent with accepted international rules and norms,&#8221; the U.S. Navy added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The American Military News has the rest of the article <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmilitarynews.com\/2021\/05\/china-claims-it-warned-off-us-warship-in-its-waters-us-navy-says-blatantly-false\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The USS Curtis Wilbur conducted a freedom of navigation transit close to the Paracel Islands.
