Beijing/UNI/Sputnik: The United States is undermining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, Col. Shi Yi, a spokesperson for the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command said on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, US navy guided missile destroyer USS Benfold sailed through the Taiwan Strait.
"Frequent provocations and shows by the United States amply demonstrate that the US is the destroyer of peace and stability, as well as the creator of security threats in the Taiwan Strait," Shi said in a statement.
The PLA military monitored the entire route of USS Benfold through the Taiwan Strait, the spokesperson said.
Shi noted that the Eastern Theater Command forces are constantly on high alert to protect the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
