Military tensions in the Taiwan Strait
The Chinese newspaper Global Times reported that the Canadian frigate Phil de Kepik and the Australian destroyed by Britan missile crossed the waterway separating China from the island of Taiwan, under strict monitoring of the Chinese army.
The newspaper emphasized that the Chinese army maintained complete monitoring and monitoring throughout the transit process, with full control of the situation, in reference to the Chinese army’s preparations to face any possible developments.
For its part, the Taiwanese Ministry of Defense said it could not comment on the incident at the present time, while no immediate responses from the Canadian and Australian armies were issued, according to Reuters.
The Taiwan Strait is a strategic waterway through which the US Naval ships are regularly passed, along with ships from allied countries of America such as Britain, France and Canada, within the framework of what these countries consider freedom of navigation in international waters.
Taiwan also confirms that the strait is part of international waters, while China insists that it falls within its territorial waters, in light of its continued demand for sovereignty over Taiwan Island, which has self -rule, which is rejected by the island with the support of America and its allies.
