US warship expelled from Chinese waters, senior officer alleges rising tensions
Chinese President Xi Jinping Expels US Warship from South China Sea
Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a clear message to American President Joe Biden by immediately expelling a U.S. warship that had entered the South China Sea, according to Chinese media.
The Chinese Community Party’s territorial claims over the entire South China Sea have been hotly disputed for years, with multiple countries claiming rights to the region.
China has rejected a 2016 ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration stating its claims in the South China Sea have no legal basis. Despite this, China continues to patrol and control the maritime territory.
On Saturday, the USS Hopper naval destroyer entered the Chinese-claimed waters without approval and was promptly escorted out by Chinese forces.
Chinese officials called the incident a “serious violation” of Chinese sovereignty and criticized the United States as a “security risk maker” in the region.
The U.S. 7th Fleet Public Affairs issued a statement saying the vessel was conducting a “freedom of navigation” operation.

This incident highlights the growing tensions between the United States and China as the global power dynamics continue to shift.
China’s swift response emphasizes its determination to defend its sovereignty and claimed territory, even if it means potential conflict with the world’s superpower.
In contrast, Biden’s refusal to defend U.S. sovereignty has been evident in his handling of issues like the southern border.
Geopolitical tensions are rising, and the United States’ unquestioned authority as the pre-eminent world power is being challenged.
During Biden’s presidency, issues like inflation, crime, and border invasions have become prevalent, leading some to accuse him of treason.
These accusations may sound harsh, but many Americans believe Biden is guilty of treason due to his failure to act in the nation’s best interests.
