The U.S. Pacific Fleet issued a statement on the 13th local time, saying that a U.S. guided missile cruiser almost collided with a Chinese naval vessel in the South China Sea while performing a mission in international waters last Friday, local time, and had to take emergency avoidance measures.

It is reported that the statement did not provide details as to why the two ships almost collided. However, according to CNN, a US guided-missile cruiser had to stop due to the approach of a Chinese naval ship while it was operating. But the statement pointed out that this incident will prompt both parties to strengthen their understanding of the highest standards of maritime technology expertise, including communication between ships, to reduce the risk of accidents or incidents.

Last month, Beijing designated an aviation identification zone in the East China Sea, requiring aircraft passing through the identification zone to report flight plans and other information to China in advance. The United States and its Asian allies have expressed dissatisfaction with China's East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone and have sent military aircraft through the East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone and the airspace of disputed islands between Japan and China.

When the situation in the East China Sea air defense zone was tense, China dispatched the Liaoning ship to the South China Sea to conduct military exercises.
