Again ships US along Chinese islands

washington - Two US naval ships sailed close to islands in the South China Sea on Sunday, claimed by China. The warships were about twelve nautical miles from the coast of some of the Paracel Islands.

The US more often allows naval ships to pass through areas claimed by China in the sea. This happens under the guise of 'freedom of navigation'. Washington wants to show that it does not recognize the territorial limits in the waters such as China.

On Sunday, an anti-missile vessel and a ship with guided missiles run along the islands of Tree, Lincoln, Triton and Woody.
