"The most important legs of the Germany Navy's current 'Indo-Pacific Deployment will begin when its ships set sail on the morning of Sunday, August 25. After a five-day stopover in Japan, the frigate Baden-Wurttemberg and its supply ship Frankfurt am Main will leave Tokyo's terminal for South Korea."
"There is no obligation under international law that the passage of ships in international waters must somehow be announced or notified in advance," Tobias Lindner stated, highlighting the German government's stance on maritime navigation.
"One factor in the decision will be weather conditions, which could potentially prevent a passage through the 180-kilometer-long strait. In recent weeks, the US, Canada and other countries have all sent their own warships through the Taiwan Strait."
"Back then, China insisted on its claim to Taiwan far less aggressively than today's President Xi Jinping has done. Beijing views Taiwan, an island around 160 kilometers off the southeastern Chinese coast, as a renegade province."
