Reports surfaced last Friday that the US guided missile cruiser USS Cowpens nearly collided with a Chinese naval landing vessel in the South China Sea on December 5. While the collision was avoided, the incident is another warning of the dangers of conflict and war posed by rising tensions in East Asia.
A US military official told Stars and Stripes that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) vessel was “moving to impede and harass the Cowpens,” which was forced to take evasive action. The US State Department said it “raised this issue at a high level with the Chinese government.”
