but we learned that it happened in the south china sea. the u.s. saids that international water. but china claims most of the south china sea as its sovereign waters. that's where the friction comes in in this disputed piece of water. not just that there was a submarine there. also the u.s., uk and others doing a multiforce lead by the uk carrier strike 21. they too were operating in the south china sea. a show of force where we are seeing more aggressive actions from the chinese against taiwan. with he saw it not only on the day of the accident when the military flew aircraft in and a couple of days later, they flew more than 50 aircraft into the region. china said it could try to make a move taking over taiwan by 2025. that's also part of the friction around beijing, washington relations. just meeting with a high-ranking chinese official trying to set up a virtual meeting between president joe biden and president xi jinping. there is still this underlying pressure surrounding taiwan and the south china sea. >> you heard it said there, beijing sent those ships close to taiwan. ta

from tampa florida, he said china under president xi had changed its military posture in the south china seaina has become more vocal, more open and aggressive under xi jinping as party secretary. obviously for many, many decades, china has built up it military capability, as is its right to do. but there is really only one major revisionist power in asia when it comes to freedom of navigation by sea, by land or by air, and it's china. so, these freedom of navigation exercises by other powers make it clear that this is not china versus the united states, this is pro—freedom of navigation and maintaining the status quo. taiwan's defence minister has said that relations are at their worst in a0 years and he also warned of a possible full—scale invasion by 2025. do you think that's actually likely? well, unfortunately we don't get to know what the truth is about with the chinese leaders will do. we only know what they say. i think it would be a mistake to assume that it is political theatre only, but they do maximise bullying and pressure campaigns. i think it's very, very important to very imp

they, too, were operating in and around the south china sea. 's a show of force by china, as we see more aggressive actions from the chinese against taiwan. we saw it not only on the day of the accident, where the chinese through more than 30 million tear aircraft, but also a couple days later when they through more than 50 military aircraft into taiwan's air identification zone. earlier, the minister said they could make a move to take over taiwan by 2025. that's part of the friction among beijing/washington relations. jake sullivan jut met with a high-ranking chinese official trying to set up a meeting with president biden and xi jinping. there's still this underlaying tension between taiwan and the south china sea. oren liebermann, cnn, the pentagon. >>> after days of flexing against taiwan and the region, the chinese president say are china is committed to peaceful reunification with taiwan. xi jinping said he'd use reunification with taiwan as inevitable. and said supporters of independence are on the wrong side of history. president xi mad
