[MULTIPLE VIDEOS] – US military releases footage of Chinese warship cutting off US destroyer in Taiwan Strait as tensions SOAR

Over the weekend a Chinese Warship came with 150 yards of a US destroyer in the Taiwan Strait, crossing directly in front of the USS Chung-Hoon and making it slow down to avoid a crash.

This morning the US released footage of the incident and you can see it below from two different angles:

 

 
Tensions have now soared between the US and China after the Chinese Defense Minister defended this incident over the weekend and warned the US not to pass through the Taiwan Strait again in order to avoid future incidents.

CBS News has a good report on this:

This US views the Taiwan Strait as international waters which is why they make a point of sailing through the strait. But the use of this strait, as well as the airspace above, has upset China so much that their defense minister refused to meet with Biden’s defense secretary after Austin had requested a meeting at a conference they were attending on Friday.
