Given their level of activity in the Arctic circle, it was a matter of time till this happened. Canada already requested assistance due to the increased presence off their waters.

Correct. China's navy is nothing to turn your nose at. This combined with China's growing "string of pearls" around the world makes them a formidable fighting force, one that will only become more capable as time goes on.
