The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA)'s Eastern Theater Command issued a statement on Friday regarding the UK offshore patrol vessel HMS Spey's transit through the Taiwan Straits on Wednesday, slamming the UK for publicly hyping up the transit.
The PLA Eastern Theater Command organized forces to monitor and remained on alert throughout the transit, effectively managing and responding to the situation, according to Senior Colonel Liu Runke, spokesperson for the PLA Eastern Theater Command Navy.
The spokesperson criticized the UK's relevant claims as a distortion of legal principles and an attempt to mislead the public. Such actions are intentional provocations that disrupt the situation and undermine peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits.
Liu emphasized that the theater command troops remain on high alert at all times and will resolutely counter all threats and provocations.
