Chinese Warship Goes Across Path of US Navy Destroyer in Taiwan Strait | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The US military has released a video of what it says was an unsafe maneuver by China's Navy in the Strait of Taiwan. China's warship went across the path of a US Navy destroyer. The Pentagon says it will not "flinch in the face of bullying" from Beijing. China has responded. It accuses the United States of provocation in the Taiwan Strait. Author of "The Coming Collapse of China" and "The Great US-China Tech War," Gordon Chang, joins to tell us about the Taiwan Strait and why this body of water is becoming so important. The incident at sea took place just days after a Chinese fighter jet buzzed a US Air Force plane in midair over the South China Sea. Chang shares more about that incident and what this signals. Chang discusses what he thinks of the response from the US military and President Joe Biden so far. On another note, more than 2 dozen people were detained over the weekend in Hong Kong on the anniversary of the 1989 protests in China's Tiananmen Square. Chang explains what this signals. He fills us in on what other stories he is following. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
