China has accused Canada of carrying out “malicious and provocative” actions in the South China Sea, after the Canadian Navy said Chinese fighter jets endangered a helicopter in two close intercepts above international waters.
The comments come after CNN revealed last week that a Chinese warplane fired flares in front of a Canadian military helicopter on October 29, an operation that Canadian military officers said was reckless and could have resulted in the downing of the aircraft.
The incident was the second of two “unsafe” encounters the Canadian chopper had on that day with Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy J-11 fighters, which got as close as 100 feet (30 meters) from the helicopter, Maj. Rob Millen, air officer aboard the Royal Canadian Navy frigate HMCS Ottawa, told CNN in an interview on the warship.
You assume I simp for China because I’m critical of American media. I just cringe when I see all the articles about what a threat China is. They certainly aren’t a military threat to America. But they are an economic one. The news media are beating the war drums so that when conflict occurs, the populace will be easily swayed. I don’t war to pad some hedge fund managers portfolio.
I agree with your last two sentences, but the rest is hogwash. I assume you simp for China because you came in at their defense in this comment section when it was clearly unwarranted.
Also you’re delusional if you don"t think China is a threat. They"ve got the largest standing army in the world, nukes to spare and a war goal on one of our best allies in the region.
Okay, you know what? I"m done with this. I really feel like a keyboard warrior sitting in someones basement with nothing better to do. I"m going to go and change that. You have a nice day!
