According to reports from the Beijing Daily app, on May 29, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference.
Reuters reporters asked that there were reports stating that a Canadian warship passed through the Taiwan Strait. Can the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirm this and provide any comments?
Mao Ning stated that China respects the right of all countries to navigate under international law. At the same time, China firmly opposes any country using the pretext of freedom of navigation to undermine Chinas sovereignty and security.
According to a report by Canadian media outlet The Toronto Sun on the 28th, the Canadian Ministry of Defence stated that the Canadian ship Charlottstown sailed across the Taiwan Strait on the 22nd, and completed its voyage on the 23rd.
