China has condemned the U.S. for its latest military action Wednesday, calling the nation a "risk creator" in the region. China made the comment after the U.S. once again sailed one of its warships through the Taiwan Strait.

The U.S. Navy's 7th Fleet said it sent its Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, the USS Curtis Wilbur, through the sensitive waterway as part of a routine transit. Navy officials said the "routine Taiwan Strait transit" conducted Tuesday was in accordance with international law.

"The ship's transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific," the U.S. Navy said.

The People's Liberation Army's Eastern Theater Command spotted the warship moving the waterway and sent out warning messages. Chinese military officials said the U.S. is intentionally "creating trouble" and "disrupting things" in the region with its military activities.

"[This] fully shows that the United States is the greatest creator of risks for regional security, and we are resolutely opposed to this," Chinese officials said.

This was the second such transit for the USS Curtis Wilbur within the past month. The last time it passed through the Taiwan Strait, China accused the U.S. of threatening the peace and stability of the region.

Taiwan's Defense Ministry said the USS Curtis Wilbur passed through the strait in a northerly direction and the "situation was as normal" throughout its journey.

Last week, Taiwan reported that it had spotted 28 Chinese air force aircraft - including fighter jets and nuclear-capable bombers - flying within its air defense identification zone. It was the largest Chinese incursion into Taiwan's airspace to date.

The incursion prompted the Group of Seven to issue a joint statement asking China to halt its military activities and for it to engage in dialogue to promote peace and stability in the region.

The U.S. Navy previously said that it plans to conduct "routine" operations with the Taiwan Strait on a regular basis. The U.S. does not have any formal diplomatic ties but it is its largest backer and supplier of weapons.
