Beijing (Reuters) – On Monday, China’s defence ministry said that Canadian military jets have been doing more reconnaissance and provocation against China, which threatens the national security of the Asian country.
The ministry said it disagrees with Canada’s actions that make things worse.
Wu Qian, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of Defense, said that the Chinese military took reasonable steps to respond to Canada’s actions and made “solemn representations” through diplomatic channels.
Last week, Canada’s military said that Chinese warplanes have been bothering its patrol planes as they watch for North Korea evading sanctions. This has sometimes forced Canadian planes to change their flight paths.
