< p _ngcontent-sc89="" class="news-annotation">A United States Coast Guard ship was on patrol in the Bering Sea. He came across a guided missile cruiser from China.
It was later found out that there was more than one cruiser. On September 19, he sailed 138 km north of Kiska Island in Alaska.
The guards also found 2 more Chinese naval ships and 4 Russian naval ships.
US Response
Rear Admiral Nathan Moore, commander of the US Coast Guard's 17th District, responded to the incident. He stated that the US will defend its interests around Alaska.
US-China Relations
Beijing believes that the dialogue between the US and Taiwan is an encroachment on China's sovereignty. Yury Poita, head of the Asia-Pacific region section of the NGRN, believes that Washington is abandoning the policy of “strategic uncertainty.” The US has not previously spoken of militarily defending Taiwan in the event of an invasion by the PRC.
“China, Taiwan and the US have signed a cooperation agreement, which stipulates that the US will, if necessary, provide “military assistance”, but it is not clear what it will consist of,” Poita explained.
