The Chinese army declared on Saturday that it intercepted and warned a Canadian frigate and an Australian destroyer that were crossing the Taiwan Strait, considering this passage a challenge to security.

The People's Liberation Army of China has declared that it has monitored and warned Canadian and Australian ships that have crossed the Taiwan Strait, considering their actions as provocations. The Canadian frigate Ville de Quebec and the Australian destroyer Brisbane have been involved in operations that, according to Beijing, increase security risks. Canada asserts that its vessel is conducting operations for stability in the Indo-Pacific region, while Taiwan monitors activities in the area, considering the strait as part of international waters, in contrast to China's position.
