China warns US and Canada after warships pass through Taiwan Strait

The US and Canada sent warships through the Taiwan Strait, a move that China warned “undermines” peace in the region. The US Navy and Royal Canadian Navy described the transit as routine and a demonstration of their commitment to upholding freedom of navigation. The US military emphasized that international rights in the Taiwan Strait should not be restricted. However, China’s military stated that the passage of the warships disrupted peace and stability in the region. Taiwan’s Defense Ministry confirmed the voyage, stating that they maintained control over the surrounding area and that the situation remained normal.
