A People's Liberation Army Navy warship cut across the bow of the USS Chung-Hoon.
The incident occurred while the Chung-Hoon and the HMCS Montreal were transiting the strait.
The Chinese warship intentionally maneuvered to cut across the bow of the American destroyer.
The U.S. crew advised the Chinese warship over radio to alter course to avoid a collision.
The commander of the HMCS Montreal called the Chinese move unprofessional.
The Chinese warship came within 150 yards of the U.S. ship.
The Chinese warship violated the maritime rules of safe passage in international waters.
Chinese officials have not commented on the transit, but earlier had criticized unannounced warship sailings through the Taiwan Strait.
