Recent developments highlight increasing military tensions between China and the United States, with several incidents involving both nations' naval and aerial assets. China has reportedly monitored and confronted U.S. military activities in the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea. Specifically, the Chinese military closely tracked the Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer USS Halsey DDG 97 as it sailed through the Taiwan Strait on May 8, 2024, and later claimed to have 'drove away' the U.S. destroyer when it entered the territorial waters of the Paracel Islands on May 10, 2024. Additionally, Chinese warships have been present at Cambodia's Ream Naval Base for five months, which the Cambodian government insists is not a permanent deployment. These warships are part of a training mission and are scheduled to visit other regions, including Timor-Leste, to enhance naval cooperation.
