How Britain linked its Pacific cruisers into Far Eastern command

Was there a British Pacific squadron, or only Royal Canadian Navy ships on the west coast?

Both British and Canadian units operated there, with Pacific forces able to pass under the China Station's command in a major war.

Pacific-facing British and Canadian ships belonged to a wider command network. The America and West Indies Station covered a broad area, while units on its Pacific side could fall under the China Station in a major war. Britain's large peacetime cruiser, destroyer, and sloop inventory made this dispersed presence possible alongside Commonwealth forces. Imperial command boundaries allowed local ships to be reassigned when a regional conflict became a fleet war.
