China has condemned Germany following the passage of two German naval vessels through the Taiwan Strait, marking the first such transit in 22 years. The German frigate Baden-Wuerttemberg and supply vessel Frankfurt am Main were navigating from South Korea to the Philippines when Beijing accused Berlin of escalating security risks and violating its sovereignty over the region. Chinese military spokesperson Li Xi stated that the People's Liberation Army had deployed forces to monitor the ships and warned of resolute counteractions against perceived provocations. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius defended the passage as a routine exercise of freedom of navigation in international waters. This incident highlights ongoing tensions in the Taiwan Strait amid growing military pressures from China towards Taiwan. The transit is seen as part of Germany's broader commitment to countering Chinese influence in the Indo-Pacific region.
