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.

    Yes you did provide evidence of China being a dick and potentially causing international issues. I don’t think that’s the point you were going for though hahahaha.

      Beijing responds by condemning Washington’s ‘frequent’ military reconnaissance activities as ‘root cause’ of maritime security issues

      From their perspective, America’s the dick. Surely that can’t be true. Hahahaha

        In international waters? In international air space? Around their ally Taiwan? China can get fucked they are going to cause an incident. Not saying the US isn’t a dick because duh, they are, but China is at fault here, hahahahaha.

              It’s like I can’t think critically and logically understand evidence that contradicts my point of view. As if I’ve been indoctrinated into a belief system that invalidates reality. And when all facts point me to a different conclusion, I stubbornly grip those beliefs with all my might. I could, like you, think for myself. But I’m comfortable with what I’ve been taught so I resist change. Maybe one day I’ll have the strength to shake off the shackles of the propaganda that confines me.

                Yes, but unironically.
