Australian PM says China military air incident 'unacceptable'
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Tuesday it was unacceptable for Australian defense personnel to be put at risk in international airspace by the Chinese military as they took part in an operation to enforce United Nations sanctions on North Korea.
A Chinese fighter jet endangered an Australian military helicopter during an unsafe and unacceptable confrontation over the Yellow Sea, Australia said on Monday.
The Chinese Air Force J-10 jet dropped flares above and several hundred meters ahead of an Australian MH60R Seahawk helicopter on a routine flight on Saturday in the Yellow Sea as part of an operation to enforce sanctions against North Korea, Defense Minister Richard Marles said on Monday evening.
In a television interview, Albanese said China had not yet responded publicly to Australia's representations over the incident.
"This issue, we have made public in order to be able to speak out very clearly and unequivocally that this behavior is unacceptable," he told Nine's Today Show.
The Australian Defense Force personnel were "in international waters, international airspace, and they're doing work to ensure that the sanctions that the world has imposed through the United Nations on North Korea, due to their intransient and reckless behavior, are enforced."
"They shouldn't have been at any risk," he said.
The Australian public expected an explanation from China about the incident, and Australia had made "very strong representations at every level to China", he added.
"We will make our position clear as well in discussions," he said.
The helicopter, flying from destroyer HMAS Hobart, dodged the flares.
The confrontation put the aircraft and those on board at risk, although no one was hurt, the Department of Defense said in a separate statement.
