China has denied a request for a US Navy warship to visit the Chinese port city of Qingdao in recent days, a US defence official told Reuters on Tuesday, the news agency reported.
The defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the destroyer was supposed to visit on Sunday, but China denied the request prior to that.
US military warships have occasionally made visits to China, most recently in 2017, the defense official said. The last US Navy ship to visit Qingdao was the destroyer Benfold, in 2016.
