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.
Hey China, how about you stop being malicious and provacative in the SCS?
Bro they’re just defending their sovereignty bro. It’s totally their waters even though it’s international waters, and did you see how dangerous those fishermen vessels were to their national security??? /s
They were seen favorably by the Western Left, but then they started to pull shit like this. They have somehow managed to align both Democrats and Republicans against them, which is fucking impressive. They continue to recklessly fuck around, and I don’t think their economy is in a state to find out.
Can you hear yourself? It’s the South CHINA Sea. Not the South Canadian Sea.
That’s one of the dumbest arguments I’ve ever heard. It’s international waters.
Does the Gulf of Mexico belong solely to Mexico? Does the Black Sea belong to black people?
Pretty sure they were just making a joke
You should read the rest of their comments.
Oh wow. Poe’s law strikes again. In my defense, those other comments hadn’t been made yet
By your logic , then we can’t complain when China does ‘malicious, provocative’ moves near our aircraft. It’s international waters. But we all know liberal logic doesn’t work that way. It’s okay when we do it, but not when they do.
Dude, their behavior is dangerous and puts lives at risk.
Also, I love how tankies like you jump to call anyone they don’t like a liberal. You use that word however you want to describe anyone you don’t like. I don’t even identify with it.
Your comments say otherwise.
You do realize this blames Canada. Right? Right?
Thank you for being the arbiter of my political leanings. I’ll be sure to take your sage advice into account.
Right back at ya.
Oh, so you’re not a tankie? Well, sorry about that, then.
See how easy that was?
Have you read what happened? There’s only one party here doing malicious, provocative moves. It’s the same one that’s charging naval ships at Filipino fishermen and building structures in international waters in the South China Sea.
There’s a very long list of times China has done something like this. They’re fucking around, and if they accidentally do crash into another naval ship or plane, they’re going to find out. If that warplane’s flares downed the helicopter, it would be an international incident. I would be hard pressed to blame Canada if they declared war.
Think of it this way. Is it wrong for Iran to be hostile to the US after the US shot down one of their civilian jets? If Israel shot down a helicopter with journalists, would there be any question they fucked up?
The comment you are replying to is where I answered this comment. Let’s not be recursive.
Lol
Dude, its just the name of the sea
Well, why don’t they rename it the Yukon Sea then, huh?
Did you mean the south of China sea?
Haha, not funny.
