Canada isn't excersizing in international waters. They're excersizing in their own territory
Quoted
And I know for a fact that Japan has been known for doing so in the past (and not neccesarily staying outside that 3 mile limit, too)

Actually, they're not. Their territory is around Canada, on the right side of the Pacific. Canada is a right and just nation so they belong on the right side of the Pacific.

China can claim the 12 miles all they want, it won't make a different here. The Soho Islands are recognized British territory, so it wouldn't matter if it was 3 or 12.

True. But I will be in international waters and that is the point. Why the Australian fleet will interfere by what we are doing in International Waters. Maybe because they will consider that provocative perhaps? We will not be interfering with commerce or the movement of ships no more than a large RAN presence would have caused and if the RAN shoots first they are the guilty party.
Now see the actions on the eyes of the Chinese. Your're starting an unannounced exercise close to their borders after their latest actions and you expect them not to be ready to war. It was provocative and looking for them to attack.

(As for whether or not the act was provocative...well, you don't seem to be considering whether or not it was meant to be provocative.)

Motion to vote: (IC)
Bharat presents a motion of a vote of censure against Canada for their lack of National Courtesy by not providing China with beforehand knowledge of an millitary exercise in Hong Kong. While Canada and the Commonwealth are on their right to exercise in Hong Kong at the discretion of the owner till 1997, The British Government, the Canadian deliberately omitted this exercise will contain parts of it that would happen less than twenty kilometers from Chinese territorial waters. That is a definete provocative action aimed at forcing China to attack Canadian ships, either on purpose or by accident.
While we know that the British Government would not have involved willingly in this act and we don't condone the previous Chinese actions that resulted in this exercise we ask the League to forget about recent actions of late and look and what almost happened; a nation tried to fool another into attacking them to achieve a moral advantage in an issue that according to sources is been negotiated by the Chinese and British Governments, with Canada not included.
This esteem League of Nations is the result of similar actions a generation ago. Lucky for the World China showed some restrain and did the right thing. Plea the League for neutral advise. As such we ask the other nation members to vote in this issue.
