Why is the German naval ships’ Taiwan Strait transit so controversial? | DW News

And in another breaking news development. Two German navy ships have sailed through the Taiwan Strait for the first time in more than twenty years. China, which considers democratically governed Taiwan as its own, also claims jurisdiction over the strait. The passage of the frigate "Baden-Württemberg" and another ship was confirmed by Germany’s Defense Ministry. Beijing had warned that sending a German warship through the Taiwan Strait would amount to a provocation. Germany meanwhile says that the strait is international waters and that the route was the ‘safest’ for the ships, given the weather conditions.
