Taiwan on High Alert 24 Chinese Aircraft Detected Near Island as Canadian Warship Passes Through Taiwan Strait

Taipei, Taiwan — In a move that has raised tensions in the region, Taiwan detected 24 Chinese military aircraft near its shores on Sunday. The same day, a Royal Canadian Navy frigate, HMCS Ottawa, passed through the sensitive Taiwan Strait, marking the first time this year that a Canadian naval vessel has made the passage.

A New Era of Military Diplomacy

The transit by HMCS Ottawa comes just days after two US warships passed through the 180-kilometer-wide strait. This regular passage by international vessels is designed to reinforce the Taiwan Strait's status as an open and free international waterway, a move that angers China.

A History of Tensions

China has long claimed Taiwan as part of its territory, despite never having formally ruled the island. Beijing has threatened to use force to bring Taiwan under its control, leading to decades of tension between the two countries. The United States and other Western nations have consistently backed Taiwan's independence, further straining relations with China.

Canada Weighs In

The Royal Canadian Navy's Halifax-class frigate, HMCS Ottawa, sailed through the Taiwan Strait on February 16, demonstrating Canada's commitment to upholding the waterway's freedom, peace, and openness. Canada has once again taken concrete action to uphold the Taiwan Strait's international waters, said a statement from the Canadian government.

China Responds

Taiwan's defense ministry reported that 24 Chinese aircraft, including fighter jets and drones, were detected conducting joint combat readiness patrols with military vessels around the island on Sunday. During the Canadian warship's passage, China's military radioed the vessel and warned it to change course, according to Taiwanese media reports.

A Pattern Emerges

Data published by Taiwan's defense ministry shows that 62 Chinese military aircraft were detected near the island in the 48 hours leading up to Wednesday morning local time. This coincides with the US ships' transit through the Taiwan Strait. It is not the first time China has responded aggressively to foreign naval vessels passing through the waterway.

A New Era of Cooperation

This latest passage by international warships comes after a statement by US President Donald Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who opposed any attempts to unilaterally change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait by force or coercion. The increased cooperation between international forces serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining open and free international waterways.
