BEIRUT, LEBANON (5:10 P.M.) – An infringing U.S. warship in China’s territorial waters has received a warning to stay away, a military spokesman confirmed, pledging that the Chinese army will continue its resolute efforts to safeguard national sovereignty and maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
Colonel Li Hua Min, spokesman for the Southern Theater Command of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, made the remarks late Thursday in response to the USS Mosten’s guided missile destroyer in the waters near the Shisha Islands, according to Xinhua News.
