China says the fight of a U.S. military plane over the Taiwan Strait Monday "endangered peace and stability" in the region.
The Eastern Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army said in a statement that it closely monitored a U.S. Navy maritime patrol and reconnaissance plane as it flew over the waterway that divides mainland China and the self-ruled island of Taiwan. The Command said the flight "deliberately interfered with and disrupted the regional situation and endangered peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait."
