BEIJING: China said on Friday it firmly opposes any attempt by any country to undermine its sovereignty and security “under the pretext of freedom of navigation,” in response to a Canadian warship passing through the Taiwan Strait.
Canadian media reported that the frigate HMCS Charlottetown made the transit last week without being accompanied by any allied countries’ ships.
