Title Australia Condemns China's 'Unsafe' Military Action in South China Sea A Call for Professionalism

The recent encounter between Australian and Chinese military forces in the South China Sea underscores the importance of maintaining a safe and professional military presence in the region. On February 11, an Australian air force plane conducting routine surveillance was approached by a Chinese fighter jet that dropped flares in close proximity to the aircraft.

Australia's defense department has formally expressed its concerns to the Chinese government over this unsafe and unprofessional interaction, which posed a risk to both the aircraft and personnel. This incident is not an isolated event; it follows previous instances of tension between China and Australia in the region, including the interception of an Australian Seahawk helicopter in 2024 and the harassment of Australian navy divers by a Chinese destroyer in 2023.

In each case, China has disputed the events, accusing Australia of violating its sovereignty. However, international law recognizes the right to freedom of navigation and overflight in international waters and airspace, which is exercised by the Australian Defence Force (ADF) through its maritime surveillance activities.

The ADF's actions are guided by a commitment to operate safely and professionally, and Australia expects other countries, including China, to do the same. This requires respect for established international norms and the rule of law, as well as an understanding that military operations must be conducted in a manner that does not pose a risk to others.

In conclusion, the recent incident between Australia and China serves as a reminder of the need for all countries to operate their militaries safely and professionally. It is essential that we prioritize dialogue and cooperation to prevent misunderstandings and ensure the continued stability and security of the Asia-Pacific region.
