China Protests Canadian Warship's Passage Through Taiwan Strait

China has lodged formal complaints with Canada both through military and diplomatic channels after a Canadian warship sailed through the Taiwan Strait, the Chinese defense ministry announced on Friday.

The ministry described the act as one that 'caused disturbance and stirred up trouble,' according to an official statement.
