China has denounced Canadian and Australian warships for transiting the Taiwan Strait, branding it a “provocative” act that threatens regional stability. The Canadian frigate Ville de Québec and Australian destroyer Brisbane were tracked and warned by the PLA Eastern Theater Command during their passage. While Australia defended the move as routine and in line with international law, Beijing accused both nations of stoking tensions. The Taiwan Strait, a vital global trade route, remains a flashpoint in escalating China–West naval confrontations.
