The US military announced today that a warship of its own, along with another belonging to the Canadian Navy, crossed the Taiwan Strait at the end of last week.

According to the US military, the guided-missile destroyer USS Dewey, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, sailed with the Canadian frigate HMCS Winnipeg through the strait on Thursday and Friday.

According to the statement, the passage of USS Dewey and HMCS Winnipeg demonstrated "the commitment of the US and its allies to a free and open Indo-Pacific."

This announcement came at a time when the Indo-Pacific region is witnessing escalating tension between the Chinese and Taiwanese sides, which has raised international concerns despite the absence of any violent military actions.

Around 150 Chinese planes have entered the Taiwanese airspace during a period of four days at the start of this month.

The Taiwanese Defense Ministry announced on Sunday that three Chinese combat airplanes (2 J-16s and an anti-submarine aircraft) violated its "air defense" zone again.
