In a Yahoo Taiwan news report on June 12, 2024, Canadian representative Jim Nickel confirmed that more Canadian warships would pass through the Taiwan Strait this year, aiming for an average of at least 3 Canadian warships passing through annually, with expectations of 'more to come.' Despite warnings from China's ambassador to Canada, the Chinese threats have not deterred Canada's planned routine passage through the Taiwan Strait. Canada also expressed support for Taiwan's application to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), with Nickel stating that Canada welcomes Taiwan's application and hopes to expand membership to uphold free trade.
