Canadian Warship HMCS Montreal Transits Taiwan Strait on July 31, Provoking Chinese Response
Aug 1, 2024, 02:21 AM
A Canadian warship, the HMCS Montreal, transited the Taiwan Strait on July 31, reinforcing Canada's commitment to the Indo-Pacific region. This move drew a strong reaction from China, with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theater Command organizing sea and air forces to monitor and guard the entire process. The PLA stated that the passage of the Canadian frigate undermined peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and responded to what it termed a provocation. The transit by the HMCS Montreal was publicly hyped by the Royal Canadian Navy.
