The Chinese military on Wednesday said its warplanes shadowed a U.S. Navy surveillance aircraft as it flew over the Taiwan Strait, a waterway that runs between mainland China and Taiwan. Part of the South China Sea, the strait has become the subject of growing disputes, as China says the waterway is within its own jurisdiction, while the U.S. views it as international territory.Army Senior Colonel Shi Yi, a spokesperson for the People s Liberation Army, criticized the U.S. Navy for flying the plane over the Taiwan Strait in a statement Wednesday, calling it a provocative move that was publicly hyped, according to the Chinese military.
