The US warship sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Tuesday and, according to the PLA, "hyped it [the passage] up publicly."

"The US has been frequently carrying out provocative acts to send wrong signals to 'Taiwan Independence' forces, deliberately undermining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. China is firmly opposed to this," the PLA Eastern Theater Command said.
