China criticizes US for hyping USS Halsey's Taiwan Strait transit before Taiwan's new president takes office.
China's military criticizes the US as hyping its warship's passage through the Taiwan Strait, just weeks before the island's new president takes office. The USS Halsey, a US destroyer, conducted a "routine Taiwan Strait transit" on May 8, according to the US 7th Fleet. China's Eastern Theater Command spokesperson, Li Xi, accused the US of "publicly hyping" the passage and stated that the command had organized naval and air forces to monitor the ship's transit.
