The Taiwan Strait is the waterway between Taiwan and mainland China. It is an international waterway and all ships of the world travel through there. I've been through a number of times in my youth.

Bad translation, when they found out it was the McCain he said, “Prepare for collision”.

Poor little China. It’s leaders seem to think their nation
can’t protect itself from one ship of this class.
Pathetic. You really have to wonder if it’s leaders are
weened yet?

Legally it’s the same as the middle of the Pacific. It’s not inside the territorial waters of either nation. So the new story should read that they’re angry that the American warship operated in international waters.

Peking, Shanghai and Canton need to be turned into Dresden’s of WWII. Then maybe the CCP will think twice about starting wars.

Let's see...
We send a little destroyer through the straits owned by no country...
They send 125,000-to-175,000 chicom spies to live, steal, & infiltrate/monetize a major political party in the U.S...
Which country should be issuing warnings of a possible war?

What would you think if Trump told the US Marines to prepare for war? That is their job.

The USN needs to regularly, even daily, make a patrol through these straits.

This must be the new USS Barry. I remember there was an older USS Barry that was the museum ship (a destroyer) at the Washington Naval Yard. It was removed a decade or more ago when the Douglass/South Capitol Bridge over the Anacostia River was rebuilt, but without a draw bridge feature that was needed to get the USS Barry to and from the Navy Yard.
