TAIPEI/BEIJING (Reuters) -The U.S. warship USS Milius sailed through the Taiwan Strait on Sunday, in what the U.S. Navy described on Monday as a "routine" transit, just days after China ended its latest war games around the island. 

China, which views Taiwan as its own territory, officially ended its three days of exercises around Taiwan last Monday where it practiced precision strikes and blockading the island. 

It staged the drills to express anger at Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen's meeting with U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Kevin McCarthy, viewing it as an interference in China's internal affairs and U.S. support for Taiwan's separate identity from China.

there no fish. Soon there are to be no jelly fish. They have all be eaten It is off the coast of China that is the bad.

The good is that individual Chinese stayed alive, they had a delicious meal and they did not go concern trolling among the masses.

We are talking Chinese here not governor Newsome. Governor Newsom will demand people mask up and the go to a high end French restaurant that 1% of the country can afford unmasked during COVID before there was a vaccine. Newsom would also have the masses eat crickets.
