TAIPEI—A US and a Canadian warship have passed through waters separating Taiwan and China, a week after Beijing held large-scale military drills in the
sensitive passage.
“Higgins and Vancouver’s transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrated the United States’ and Canada’s commitment to upholding freedom of navigation for all nations as a principle.” Taiwan’s defence ministry said Monday the US and Canadian ships travelled “from south to north” of the strait and the situation in the surrounding sea and airspace “remained normal”.
