(Beijing = Yonhap News) Correspondent Cho Jun-hyeong = The Chinese government criticized the passage of two US warships through the Taiwan Strait on the 28th as “intentional destruction of regional peace and stability.”
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhao Lijian said at a regular briefing on the 29th, “The frequent military demonstrations of US warships under the banner of ‘freedom of navigation’ is not a ‘promise of freedom and openness’.”
“We urge the United States to stop distorting the one-China principle, respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries, and adhere to the basic principles of international relations not to interfere in internal affairs,” Zhao said.
“We urge you to properly abide by the One China Principle and the three Sino-US Joint Statements (the three major statements in U.S.-China relations, including the statement on the establishment of diplomatic ties), and not become a troublemaker for peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.” ” he exaggerated.
The US 7th Fleet announced on the 28th that two missile cruisers, Chancellor’sville and Antinum, were passing through the Taiwan Strait and said that they were sailing in waters subject to freedom of navigation in the high seas under international law.
It was the first time the US military conducted a ‘freedom of navigation’ operation in the Taiwan Strait following House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan (August 2-3).
In response, on the same day, China sent seven military aircraft, including three J-11 fighters, one Su-30 fighter, one WZ-10 attack helicopter, and two J-10 fighters, over the midline of the Taiwan Strait, and the Y-8 anti-submarine An armed protest was held in which three military aircraft, including one patrol aircraft and two J-16 fighters, entered the Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in southwestern Taiwan.

The Chinese military also said that the “strategic bomber H-6K and aerial tanker will be part of regular patrols around Taiwan.”
“Long-range strategic bombers have performed numerous operations near Taiwan in recent years,” said Sunjinke, a spokeswoman for the Chinese Air Force, at an air power unveiling event in Changchun, Jilin Province, on the 28th. Together, the H-6K will continue to carry out these missions.”
He also showed pictures of H-6K bombers scouting the Bashi Strait, Miyako Strait, the South China Sea, and the Taiwan Strait.
The H-6K can be equipped with long-range CJ-20 cruise missiles and short-range missiles such as the KD-63 that can strike targets on land and at sea.
At the event, the YU-20 aerial tanker, a variant of the Y-20 transport aircraft, was unveiled for the first time.
Earlier last month, a spokesperson for Sun said that the YU-20 was used for combat readiness training and would contribute to improving the long-range operational capabilities of other fighters.
