🌊✈️ Tensions Rise in the South China Sea! The Chinese mainland's Ministry of National Defense didn't hold back on Friday, calling out Australia's recent maneuvers in the region. According to Zhang Xiaogang, the spokesperson, Australia's actions on February 11th—alleged as \"unsafe and unprofessional\" interactions with a Chinese People's Liberation Army aircraft—were nothing but deliberate provocations infringing on China's sovereignty. 🇨🇳✖️🇦🇺
Zhang emphasized that China's swift response to expel the Australian aircraft was a justified and lawful defense of its national sovereignty and security. He didn't stop there, urging Australia to rethink its naval and air strategies and stop playing the role of troublemaker in the South China Sea. 🛑🛩️
The Chinese mainland has lodged serious representations with Australia, firmly opposing any narratives that paint China as the aggressor. As the geopolitical chessboard in the South China Sea heats up, all eyes are on how these tensions will unfold. Stay tuned! 📡🔥
