    I’m not a bot … at least I don’t think I am

    But I still want to ask … why are Canadian military aircraft flying in international waters off the coast of China.

    How would we feel if Chinese military aircraft were flying off the coast of Canada?

    And there is military tension on Chinese borders, why would we want to further antagonize them?

      why are Canadian military aircraft flying in international waters off the coast of China?

      You mean, why are planes flying in international airspace?

      Maybe grow up a bit, China. You’re behaving like a toddler.

      Uh, they already do that. We generally don’t buzz the planes and antagonize them

      From the description of the video, should you care to read it:

      Global News was on board the Canadian military aircraft reporting on the mission, which is part of Operation NEON, Canada’s contribution to helping enforce sanctions against North Korea, when the aggressive intercepts took place.

      It’s part of our role in ensuring international sanctions are followed

      It’s about shipping lanes to North Korea, nothing to do with China
