The acting prime minister, Richard Marles, on Saturday said the Australian government had expressed “serious concerns” to Chinese officials after Australia’s HMAS Toowoomba encountered a People’s Liberation Army-Navy destroyer.

The Toowoomba was in international waters in Japan’s exclusive economic zone, having worked to enforce United Nations sanctions, and was on its way to a scheduled port visit when fishing nets became entangled around its propellers.

      People who think it didn’t do a good job? In this instance, for example, it neglected to mention how the divers were affected, something I’d consider essential to a summary of this article.
      It also started mentioning the Chinese vessel without any introduction, something it does quite frequently and that does, in my opinion, hamper the understandability of the text.

        At this point I’d rather it just quoted the article verbatim.

      It is doing very innaccurate and misleading summaries. I’ve read a few which completely turned around important points in the actual article. This one is not a great summary either. If people see the downvotes they will hopefully realise the summary is wrong.
