Ex-CSIS director Richard Fadden is leading a contingent of former Canadian security and defence officials on a trip to Taiwan next week .

The trip represents a substantial level of engagement between Taiwan and a group of private citizens who previously held senior jobs in the top echelons of Canada ’s government, security agencies and military.

Canada and Taiwan do not have official diplomatic relations but the territory, claimed by Beijing , has been building robust informal relations with the West .

China claims the Taiwan Strait between Taiwan and the PRC as inland waters but today it serves as a major global shipping corridor.

About 90 per cent of the world’s advanced semi-conductor manufacturing capacity is located in Taiwan .

“We do not wish, I think, to unnecessarily antagonize the People's Republic of China ,” Mr. Fadden said.
