Actually, most of the world recognizes Beijing as the government of China, including the US.
You mean the straight that connects the South CHINA sea to the East CHINA Sea. Naw, can't see why China thinks they own that at all.

You are misinformed
China has 12 miles off its coast
Taiwan is entitled to claim 12 miles also
The rest of the Straight is an international waterway

I am. Would be the dumbest thing they could do. They rely on customers all around the world to keep their economy moving.
A war would ruin that.
International trade is a great hedge against war.

Yet there are conflicting claims further out than 12 miles.
So why antagonize China unnecessarily.
Actually, we do recognize Taiwan as part of China.

Because they are claiming way more than they are entitled too in the area.

National sovereignty is an unreasonable claim?
Maybe you need to read up on "The Century of Humiliation" and then you might understand the reason China acts the way it does.

National sovereignty does not extend 200nm into the ocean.
China is free to act as they are acting, and other countries are free to push back at it.
If Japan declared all the ocean between mainland and Okinawa as their waters that no ship was allowed to pass though, do you think the whole world should just go "ok".

This little chat here is bringing a smile to my face, the predictable Chinese bogeyman again!
We can also think about the number of countries and people in Indochina that the US has invaded, attacked, bombed, dumped chemical weapons and so on since the end of WW2.
If China had done to central America and Mexico what the US did in Indochina, how would we we think about being surrounded by Chinese military installations...

Its an international waterway
China is not going to attack german ships using it
But if they did it would be bad for the chicoms

Severely Conservative
It's none of Germany's business but Germany was asked by Washington to do this. U.S. warships periodically sail through the Taiwan Strait multiple times per year just to annoy Beijing. The German warships' stopover in Tokyo included a joint military drill between the German and Japanese armed forces for the first time since WWII.
The seven-month voyage of the German naval vessels began in early May in their home port of Wilhelmshaven, from which they traveled through the Panama Canal to Hawaii, where they took part in RIMPAC, the world's largest naval exercise. The five-week multinational maritime training event takes place every two years by invitation of the US Navy.
The latest port stop in Tokyo was intended to intensify defense cooperation with Japan. At the end of July, three Eurofighters from the German Air Force and four F-15 jets from the Japanese Air Force carried out the "Nippon Skies" maneuver over the northern island of Hokkaido. An agreement on the mutual provision of equipment and services between the German and Japanese armed forces also came into force in July.

Will German warships pass through the Taiwan Strait? – DW – 08/24/2024
As geopolitical tensions over the Taiwan Strait persist, Berlin remains tight-lipped over whether it will send warships into the disputed trade route as part of a major Indo-Pacific naval deployment.

It would be worse for the guys on those ships.
Hey, remember when that US spy plane had to make an emergency landing in China in 2001? Bush had to literally kiss their asses to get it and the crew back.

Not starting a war over nothing is a good president.
You know, you seem awfully keen to send someone else's kid to war.
