A diplomatic row is heating up between China and Australia, as both countries point the finger at each other over a “risky” and “dangerous” military manoeuvre.
Canberra has condemned and made the “appropriate diplomatic representations” to Beijing after a Chinese jet dropped flares in front of an Australia n Seahawk helicopters in the Yellow Sea on Saturday.
A navy MH-60R helicopter operating in the Yellow Sea had flares dropped in front of it and above it by a Chinese fighter jet.“The way the situation was handled was consistent with our laws and regulations, professional and safe,” he said. On Tuesday, Anthony Albanese vowed to protest the “unprofessional and unacceptable” conduct with Chinese Premier Li Qiang when he visits Australia next month.“That is part of Australia being good global citizens, and Australian Defence Force personnel should not be at risk whilst they’re doing that.”
