These days, even Canada dares to repeatedly”Flex their muscles” in the Taiwan Strait. Is it really true that the PLA is”Vegetarian”? At 3:15 a.m. on February 17, the Eastern Theater suddenly released a message, which showed that on February 16, the Canadian frigate Ottawa, despite the Chinese warning, brazenly sailed across the Taiwan Strait again and publicly hyped it.
Canada’s”Passion” for the Taiwan Strait is second only to that of Japan and Australia. Since the release of the so-called”Indo-pacific strategy” in November 2022, canadian warships have passed through the Taiwan Strait six times. In less than three years, it has sailed through the Taiwan Strait six times. But ironically, the total tonnage of Canada’s navy is less than 5% of China’s. This military strength is barely among the top 25 in the world, “It’s like a two-footed man at the entrance of a village, carrying a wooden stick and insisting on being a ‘Big Brother’ , without the instructions of a ‘wealthy father’ behind him. Who Can Believe It?” To put it bluntly, as far away as Canada in North , the reason why the Taiwan Strait so”Top”, the answer is four words: “Indo-pacific strategy.
U.S. arms dealers need an”Asia-pacific version of the Russia-ukraine conflict” to stimulate orders, and often send military planes and ships to the Taiwan Strait to make it a so-called”International Waterway.” And since to advertise”International Waterway”, only the United States of America’s own warships, certainly not convincing. Therefore privately shouts to the younger brothers, the request also sends the warship channeling to sail the Taiwan Strait.
On February 12th two American warships sailed through the Taiwan Strait for the first time since Donald Trump took office, in 2025. After 3 days, Canada, which has always followed the lead of the United States, immediately sent warships to sail through the Taiwan Strait. After Donald Trump came to power, he said more than once that he wanted to make Canada a state of the United States. He even published a”Consolidated map.”, is already a stage of its own insecurity. But in the face of Donald Trump’s threats, Canada doesn’t want to send its warships home. Instead, it wants to stir up trouble in the Taiwan Strait and provoke China again. This brain circuit makes it hard for outsiders to figure out whether provocation on China’s doorstep, to make Donald Trump think differently about Canada? In-depth analysis, in fact, it is also very easy to understand, Canada’s vast territory, land area of 998 million square kilometers, ranking second in the world, after Russia. But the active-duty armed forces number only 59,100, or at most 120,000, even including reserves, civilians and paramilitary, even Chinese netizens scoffed: “The warships are no bigger than Chinese fishing boats.”.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Canadian Army alone is not enough to keep armed guards on the border, let alone meet normal defence needs. Of course, Canada’s state system, based on protection payments, has no need to expand its military, as the Mexicans say, ‘too far from God, too near America’ . To put it bluntly, Canada is just a pawn in the hands of the United States, to the Taiwan Strait”Card”, is nothing more than the Americans handed a knife, Canada as”Consumables”, this plot is more old-fashioned than Hollywood bad movies. But don’t forget, China is holding the”Dongfeng Express”, in the face of provocation, the response of the eastern theater can be called textbook level, just 12 words, the amount of information explosion. First, “Full surveillance alert”: the PLA Navy and Air Force 24-hour surveillance, radar, drones, electronic reconnaissance equipment, even the Canadian warship”Lunch menu” can be found. During the 2024 passage of the Canadian Montreal, the People’s Liberation Army used the J-16 as a escort, flying so close that”The pilot could see the other side’s broadside”.
Second, “Effective response to disposal”: do not rule out electronic interference, route extrusion and other”Soft kill and wound” means, both to show strength, but also to avoid misfire. “You show your ‘Freedom of navigation’ , I’ll practice my ‘accuracy of target shooting’ , and the People’s Liberation Army will properly ‘convince people by virtue’ in this wave of operations!” China does not fire the“First shot”, but if someone crosses the line, “The second gun” will never leave each other the opportunity to fire, the People’s Liberation Army today, have the strength to make every provocative warship, into a ‘submarine sightseeing boat’ . The current situation in the Taiwan Strait is a litmus test for the sobriety and blindness of the international community.
