Video shows Chinese Navy tracking, monitoring transit of Japanese destroyer through Taiwan Strait

A drone footage obtained by Yuyuantantian, a media outlet affiliated with China Media Group, shows that the Chinese Navy was tracking and monitoring the transit of a Japanese military vessel through the Taiwan Strait on Friday.

The footage shows that Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's destroyer JS Ikazuchi (DD-107), carrying type 90 ship-to-ship missiles, entering the Taiwan Strait from the north entrance at 4:02 and exiting from the south entrance at 17:50.

A spokesman for China's Ministry of National Defense said on Friday that the move is sending wrong signal to secessionist forces in Taiwan.

The Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) soon deployed naval and air assets to track and monitor the vessel throughout the process, ensuring effective control of the situation, according to the spokesman.
