China claims all the Maritime Territory inside this dotted red line, but its neighbours dispute this. A us warship has sailed close to triton island, which is claimed by china, taiwan and vietnam. In response, china sent military vessels and Fighter Planes to the area in response. Last night the Chinese Foreign ministry put out this statement they called it a serious political and military provocation. This was hours before a phone call between the leaders of us and china in which apparently none of this came up. I asked vincent ni from the bbcs Chinese Service to explain.
