2019-02-11 | U.S. destroyers sail in disputed South China Sea amid trade tensions | Reuters

'China claims almost all of the strategic South China Sea and frequently lambastes the United States and its allies over naval operations near Chinese-occupied islands. '

'Escalating tensions between the United States and China have cost both countries billions of dollars and roiled global financial markets. '

'The two countries are also at odds over regional security, including Washington’s overtures to the self-ruled island of Taiwan, which China claims as its own. '

'China and the United States have repeatedly traded barbs in the past over what Washington says is Beijing’s militarization of the South China Sea by building military installations on artificial islands and reefs. '

'WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two U.S. warships sailed near islands claimed by China in the South China Sea on Monday, a U.S. official told Reuters, a move likely to anger Beijing at a time of tense relations between the world’s two biggest economies. '
