Germany’s naval presence in Asia is making headlines as two warships await orders to pass through the Taiwan Strait for the first time since 2002. This move could escalate tensions with China, which claims sovereignty over Taiwan and the Strait. Germany's move is being seen as an attempt to support international law and freedom of navigation in a region where tensions are high. The Taiwan Strait is a critical trade route. Germany's decision comes as China, which claims sovereignty over Taiwan and the strait, is increasing its military activities in the region. These German naval vessels will also participate in joint exercises with regional allies.
