Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called Chinese military behavior 'unacceptable' after a Chinese jet dropped flares in the path of an Australian helicopter.
Australian prime minister slams China over aerial confrontation above tense Yellow SeaAustralian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese speaks during a virtual National Cabinet meeting to discuss the national crisis of gender-based violence, Wednesday, May 1, 2024.
A Chinese J-10 jet dropped flares above and several hundred yards ahead of an Australian Sea Hawk helicopter flying over international waters in the Yellow Sea on Saturday. The helicopter was part of a mission helping to enforce international sanctions against the regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles said Monday evening.
The Australian prime minister, who took office in 2022, has sought to upgrade relations with China, which had frayed under his conservative predecessor, Scott Morrison. In November, however, Mr. Albanese’s government protested after a Chinese vessel turned on its sonar when a nearby Australian destroyer had divers down in the South China Sea, most of which is claimed by China. Sonar can injure divers; the incident has been characterized as a “sonar attack.
Another South Korean naval base — which has hosted U.S. assets — sits on the island of Jeju, at the southern entrance to the Yellow Sea.
