According to a recent report by the Beijing News, the Canadian Navy's "Montreal" frigate recently passed through the Taiwan Strait. The Canadian Defense Minister subsequently reiterated that Canada is committed to achieving a "free, open and inclusive" Indo-Pacific region. In response, the Eastern Theater Command responded to the hype about the Canadian "Montreal" frigate passing through the Taiwan Strait. China has lodged solemn representations to Canada through military diplomatic channels.

Not long ago, Canadian Foreign Minister Joly visited China to improve Sino-Canada diplomatic relations and create favorable conditions for Canada's future development. However, less than two weeks after Joly's visit to China, Canada showed a provocative attitude on the Taiwan Strait issue and tried to put pressure on China. In response, China said it would never tolerate it. The PLA Eastern Theater Command changed its stance on Canada and gave a clear response. At the same time, the US Navy's Burke-class destroyer "Ralph Johnson" was active in the East China Sea, and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force's "Tokiwa" supply ship conducted a two-way maritime supply exercise with Canadian warships.

Blair's bold challenge to China is likely to spark controversy and criticism. The frigate he sent to the Taiwan Strait this time, the Montreal, is a 5,000-ton frigate that has been in service since the 1970s. However, for Canada, it is already one of its strongest warships. The Royal Canadian Navy's active ships also include two other 5,000-ton frigates, 12 4,000-ton frigates, 12 patrol boats, 8 training ships, 2 support ships and 4 submarines. This fleet composition shows the overall strength and configuration of the Canadian Navy.
