Canadian Navy Joins the US Help Manila over the threat of China Fishing Boat in South China Sea


Canadian navy joined the u.s to help manila over the threat of china fishing boat in the south china sea. Interesting how the military defends this country by sending ships 7,000 kilometers from canadian soil.

Canada's navy is running provocative maneuvers in the south china sea. While they claim to be upholding the international rules-based order in these missions. Their main partner refuses to recognize the law of the sea.

At the end of last month HMCS algary passed near the spratly islands claimed by both China and the Philippines. In response chinese vessels shadowed calgary through the South China Sea.

In recent years Canadian vessels have repeatedly been involved in belligerent freedom of navigation exercises through international waters. Claimed by beijing in the South China Sea, Taiwan Strait and the East China Sea. 

To counter China's growing influence in Asia, Washington has stuck its ore into long-standing territorial and maritime boundary disputes between China and the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and other nations.

As part of these efforts to rally regional opposition to China the U.S Navy has engaged in regular freedom of navigation operations, which see warships travel through or near disputed waters.

Last year the Canadian press obtained documents showing that freedom of navigation efforts in the south china sea was approved at the highest levels of government. When HMCS Ottawa traveled through the south china sea's taiwan strait, the government said it demonstrated canadian support for our closest partners and allies, regional security and the rules-based international order.

But Canadian freedom of navigation missions is principally designed to demonstrate support for the u.s, which is one of only a handful of countries that have refused to sign the United Nations Convention on the Law Of the Sea (UNCLOS).

Ottawa is under pressure to increase its military contribution in a region with a significant u.s presence. Le Mans diplomatique pointed out that despite china's 14,000 kilometers of coastline, it collides with the us military which has bases sprinkled all around the region, as soon as it goes out to sea.

Recently the globe and mail published a story titled Canada urged to play a bigger role with allies to counter china in the indo-pacific. The story called on Ottawa to join the quadrilateral security dialogue which includes the U.S, India, Japan and Australia.

Incredibly Canada may join an alliance focused on an area some 7,000 kilometers from Canada's coast. Earlier this year the Canadian air force participated in an anti-submarine warfare exercise in Guam known as sea dragon with the quad nations for the first time.

While increasing the canadian navy's presence in the region is nothing new. In 2012 it came to light the military sought a small base with a port facility in singapore to keep an eye on China,

For two decades, the Canadian navy has made regular port visits to asia and since its 1971 inception. Canada has participated in every rim of the pacific exercise, which is a massive us-led maritime warfare training action every two years.
