Doesn't have the shock value of a future supercarrier docking in Taiwan's Keelung naval base, but enough to incur a tongue-lashing from the mainland because of the "One China" policy. :heh:

US Navy Research Vessel Docks in Taiwan amid China Tensions
17 Oct 2018
The Associated Press
BEIJING — A U.S. Navy research vessel has docked in Taiwan amid tensions with China over trade and arms sales.
Taiwan's official Central News Agency says the Thomas G. Thompson arrived in the southern port of Kaohsiung on Monday to refuel and make crew changes. It quoted Defense Minister Yen De-fa as saying its visit is "unrelated to military activity."
China objects to all governmental and military contact between the U.S. and Taiwan, which it claims as part of its territory to be conquered by force if necessary.
(...SNIPPED)
