The Taiwan Strait separates Taiwan from mainland China, and Beijing claims jurisdiction over the maritime territory. Earlier this month, two US vessels also crossed the waterbody.

Summary

A Canadian warship passed through the Taiwan Strait on Sunday, prompting China to condemn the move as provocative and destabilizing.

Chinese military forces have been deployed to counter the perceived threat.

The passage follows recent crossings by two US vessels, with Taiwan’s defense ministry asserting that the strait remains international waters and a symbol of regional openness.

    Man, did you somehow manage to skip the “Western Culture” class during your re-education? Not a single part of that statement makes any sense.

      I’m really intrigued by this, re-education from what? What education do you think I had that I then got re-educated from and why would “western culture” be a part of it?

      Edit: Also how did I get into this re-education? Was I forced or did I voluntarily sign up? Please paint me a picture here I’m fascinated by this
