The report on Taiwan by a House of Commons special committee urges the Canadian government to make efforts to join AUKUS, a United States-Britiain-Australia defence pact
The Chinese government is accusing Canada of foreign interference, after a high-profile parliamentary committee released a report that says the Taiwanese people, rather than Beijing, should decide the fate of the self-ruled island.
In August, in response to a visit to Taiwan from then-U.S. House speaker Nancy Pelosi, China surrounded the island with warships and held live-fire exercises that included launching ballistic missiles. Military experts said the drill resembled training for a blockade of Taiwan. In 2000, Taiwan had diplomatic relations with 29 member states of the United Nations, as well as the Vatican. Today the number is down to 12, plus the Vatican.
In a 1970 communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China, Canada did not validate Beijing’s claim that Taiwan is an “inalienable part” of its territory. The document says Canada “takes note of this position.”
