Did China warn US not to block Chinese ships or face military consequences?

Analysis Reasoning

No direct Chinese warning to the US exists against blocking or intercepting Chinese ships or tankers with threats of military provocations. Recent PLA drills and posters depicted China Coast Guard intercepting Taiwan-related cargo ships carrying US arms like HIMARS, signaling potential actions against arms shipments to Taiwan, not US interference with Chinese vessels.
