Taiwan Navy's claim, there is no feud between the country and the land of Uncle Sam. The plane was flying high and very far away from Taiwan warship. They had already reported the matter to the Ministry of Defence Taiwan.

However, the media in Taiwan assume that there is a feud going on between Taipei and Washington over the South China Sea dispute. In mid May, Taiwan warship confronted also with boat T-AGM-23 belonging to the U.S.. In that event, the U.S. seems to want to convey the message directly to Taiwan.

So far, the Government of Taiwan expressed the same opinion with the military. They also denied media speculation over a dispute with the U.S. country. Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated that the U.S. and Taiwan relations never change and always good.
