Senior Colonel Li Xi, spokesman for the Eastern Theater of Operations, said that from 10 to 12 February, the US destroyer USS Johnson and the oceanographic survey ship USS Bowditch sailed through the Taiwan Strait. The Eastern Theater of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army organized naval and air forces to monitor and guard the entire process of the US warship’s transit, and effectively responded to and dealt with it. The actions of the US have sent wrong signals and increased security risks. The troops in the theater are on high alert at all times and resolutely defend national sovereignty, security, and regional peace and stability.
