The destroyer USS Lassen, a few hours ago, it passed within twelve nautical miles from the Spratly Islands (claimed by Beijing). Islands considered sovereign territory of China. The United States did not violate the 12-mile limit in 2014, when China began dredging mass to transform artificially the three islands. The whole maneuver USS Lassen was authorized by President Barack Obama.

In just over 18 months, China has recovered more than 2,000 acres in the main islands of the Spratly: Subi, Mischief and Fiery Cross. The South China Sea is the subject of numerous territorial disputes between China, Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam.

The reply was not long in coming with a statement of the Foreign Minister of China Wang Yi. "We advise the US to think twice before taking such actions. We have repeatedly stated that the activities in the South China Sea will not threaten nobody undermine freedom of navigation (by sea or by air) of any country. Freedom Navigation can not be used as an excuse to undermine the sovereignty of other countries. "

We are wherever we allow international law - replicate the US Department of Defense - we must not inform anyone when we exercise our right to sail in international waters.
