In this March 22, 2017, photo provided by U.S. Navy, U.S. Navy destroyer USS Stethem transits waters east of the Korean Peninsula during a photo exercise including the U.S. Navy and South Korean Navy during the Operation Foal Eagle. China’s foreign ministry is strongly protesting the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Stethem’s sailing within 12 nautical miles (22 kilometers) of tiny Triton island that is claimed by China, Taiwan and Vietnam.
Spokesman Lu Kang said China dispatched naval ships and fighter planes Sunday, July 2, 2017 to “warn off the U.S. vessel.” The U.S. Pacific Fleet had no comment on China's statement or specifics about the Stethem's operations.
