Conservative MPs Michael Chong and Melissa Lantsman are calling on Ottawa to support its democratic ally Taiwan, as the Chinese regime escalates military action against the island nation.

“China’s latest incursions into Taiwan’s air identification zone are needlessly provocative and only serves to destabilize the security of the region. Canada must support our friends in democratic Taiwan,” Lantsman wrote on Twitter.
