Germany Sent Warship to South China Sea in Nearly 20 Years

China has many disputes on the South China Sea Sovereignty with many countries. Germany sent a warship to the South China Sea on Monday (Aug 2), the first such activity in nearly 20 years. The aim is to maintain international stability. They stated that the warship would not enter the 12-mile range from the disputing sovereignty area.

Deutsche Welle said that Germany sent Frigate Bayern for a 6-months voyage, during which it would refill the needs from the ports from the allies. Germany might show their disagreements with the Chinese sovereignty at the South China Sea when the warship bypassed the area, which would affect the China-Germany relation. However, an official from the German Ministry of Defense stated that Frigate Bayern would not enter 12-mile of the disputing area nor the Taiwan Strait.
