Marine VS once again defies China

washington - An American naval ship has once again held an exercise within the territorial waters of a reef where China has built an artificial island.

American officials told the Reuters news agency that the USS Mustin sailed alongside the Mischief reef, part of the Spratly island group.

Under the guise of 'freedom of navigation', America is more likely to let war bottoms sail past the islets to show that it has not recognized the territorial boundaries in the waters such as China.
