A U.S. warship and a Canadian warship sailed through the Taiwan Strait late last week, the American military said on Sunday, during a time of heightened tension between Beijing and Taipei that has sparked concern internationally.

In response, the Chinese regime on Sunday accused the United States and Canada of threatening peace and stability in the region.
