US military says one of its warships, US destroyer Preble, sailed near the disputed Scarborough Shoal claimed by China in the South China Sea and carried out an operation
The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Preble transits in the the Indian Ocean, March 29, 2018.
China struck a more aggressive tone in its trade war with the United States on Friday. The tough talk capped a week that saw Beijing unveil fresh retaliatory tariffs."Preble sailed within 12 nautical miles of Scarborough Reef in order to challenge excessive maritime claims and preserve access to the waterways as governed by international law," said Commander Clay Doss, a spokesman for the Seventh Fleet.
China claims almost all of the strategic South China Sea and frequently lambasts the United States and its allies over naval operations near Chinese-occupied islands.
