"Australian and Canadian warships sailing through the sensitive Taiwan Strait
have been followed and warned by China’s military, with Beijing describing the
incident as a provocation.
The People’s Liberation Army’s Eastern Theatre Command said the Australian
guided-missile destroyer
Brisbane and the Canadian frigate
Ville de Quebec
were engaged in “trouble-making and provocation”.
“The actions of the Canadians and Australians send the wrong signals and
increase security risks,” it said.
An Australian defence spokesperson said the
HMAS Brisbane conducted a routine
transit with the Canadian frigate through the Taiwan Strait over 6-7 September,
“in accordance with international law”.
“
HMAS Brisbane is on a four-month-long Regional Presence Deployment to the
Indo-Pacific region,” they said.
“Australian vessels and aircraft will continue to exercise freedom of
navigation and uphold International Law, particularly
United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea.”"
