It's a strait, they would normally be unable to refuse passage to a ship transiting from one location to the other in convention with normal international navigation law. China considers the Taiwan strait to be theirs, we drive through that all the time to annoy them anyways. https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2943&context=ils#:~:text=Straits%20used%20for%20International%20Navigation,of%20the%20high%20seas%2FEEZ.

Yes but the straight of Taiwan is hundreds of miles wide. The Bosporus straight is like 1 km wide at its thinnest, and passes right through one of turkeys biggest cities. It's more like the Hudson River, and letting another nations warships pass right past the statue of liberty... If you don't have permission it's gonna be a serious problem.
