BEIJING has taken swift action to surround a US ship travelling through the South China Sea, with the Asian super-power furiously accusing Washington of “flexing its muscles” in the disputed region. The waters have become a hotbed of activity after Beijing’s institution of the nine-dash line which sees its territorial claims invade areas controlled by neighbouring countries such as Taiwan, the Philippines and Vietnam. Both the US and UK have both increased their presence in the region increasing the dispute between Washington and Beijing.
China accused the US of showing its strength in the region after the USS Ronald Reagan carried out drills in the disputed waters.
