After we issued a warning, Canada came out to respond! After our military stated that the actions of the Canadian and Australian ships were provocative and condemned them, the spokesperson of the Canadian Joint Operations Command, Short, responded by claiming that the "Quebec City" was conducting the "Horizon Operation," aimed at promoting peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region, and supporting an international order based on international law.
It is obvious that Canada does not listen to our warnings, but instead considers this as a so-called effort to promote peace. To be honest, whether it is promoting peace or not, Canada itself knows clearly. The Canadian warships had just conducted joint exercises with the Philippines, Australia, and the United States near the Philippine Sea, claiming to demonstrate "freedom of navigation." Then they passed through the Taiwan Strait, which is clearly a clear provocation against us.
In short, countries like Canada and Australia are cooperating with the United States, intending to exert pressure on us regarding the Taiwan issue. However, as for Canada's few old ships, it is hard to say whether they can really pose a great threat or create much trouble. Canada does not have the capability to do so. Canada's actions, besides being annoying, have no real effect. For us, the key is to completely resolve the Taiwan issue, making sure that these kinds of flies-like behaviors have no opportunity to occur.
Similarly, Canada's actions will inevitably have consequences. Now, Canadian military aircraft are provoking in Taiwan. In terms of naval strength, our navy far surpasses Canada's. Therefore, as our navy shifts from coastal defense to deep-sea operations, we certainly have the opportunity to conduct free navigation near Canada's doorstep. Canada's under-the-table activities will surely be returned in full measure, which is entirely self-inflicted by Canada.
