Taiwan said that it detected 24 Chinese military aircraft on Sunday as a Canadian warship passed through Taiwan Strait. 41 PLA aircraft, 9 Chinese Navy vessels detected: Taiwan’s Defence Ministry. The Canadian naval frigate HMCS Ottawa transited through the Taiwan Strait Sunday morning, days after two US ships also transited the Strait. China, which claims Taiwan Strait and Taiwan as an inalienable part, has raised objections over Canada sending the warship through the strait. Beijing maintains that it opposes any kind of patrolling in the Taiwan Strait and perceives it as a security threat. Taiwan and its allies consider the Taiwan strait as an international waterway and routinely send warships through it asserting their influence in the Indo-Pacific region and countering growing influence of China. The Taiwanese Armed Forces maintained full control over the surrounding sea and airspace, with the situation remaining normal. The reaction came after China objected to a Canadian Warship sailing through theTaiwan Strait on Sunday morning. Taiwan’s Ministry of Defence on Monday reiterated that Taiwan Strait enjoys freedom of navigation and that China has no right to claim sovereignty over it.
