China blamed Australia for a recent encounter over the Yellow Sea in which a Chinese jet dropped flares near an Australian helicopter when it got too close to Chinese airspace.
China said on Tuesday its military took steps to warn and alert an Australian aircraft after Australia blamed a Chinese fighter jet for endangering one of its military helicopters during an 'unsafe' confrontation over the Yellow Sea. The incident could create a new rift between the nations trying to rebuild ties following a 2020 low, when Canberra called for an independent investigation into the origins of COVID-19, and Beijing responded with trade barriers.
Australia has rejected this, saying it respects the right of all states to exercise freedom of navigation and overflight in accordance with international law. China claims sovereignty over much of the South China Sea, a conduit for more than $3 trillion of annual ship-borne commerce, including parts claimed by the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. An international tribunal in 2016 said China's expansive claim had no legal basis.
