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.
Almost seems like china wants it. Their pilots are trained, their pilots act like infants… its a safe bet they’re trained to act like infants.
They are just like the playground bully. Acting all tough but they can’t back it up.
Look at their aircraft carrier: https://thedefencetimes.com/2023/06/06/fujian-chinese-aircraft-carrier-cracks/
China wouldn’t stand a chance if the US really wanted to swat them down.
I’ll have you know that Major Cracks is a highly decorated member of the PLA!
(PLN maybe?)
It’s their playground. We’re on their playground. Imagine if China had bases in Cuba and Bermuda and were flying near our airspace. Geez, the liberal brain rot is real.
That’s no excuse for doing shit like this:

It’s the best excuse. If China was flying off the coast of South Carolina you don’t think our military would do that? GTFOH
Dammit, gramps. You’re standing in your own liquid shit again.
Attack the person instead of the argument. Nice.
It’s not “their playground”. Besides the fact that the South China Sea is a crucial international trade route (and thus shouldn’t “belong” to anyone), it is also bordered by many nations other than China, like Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines. And these nations are very bothered by the way China is using its size to bully them out of their own coastline. That is why Canada is there, to prevent China from dominating the smaller states. Obviously NATO has more than one goal in the region, but they are not uninvited guests and, in a world as globalized as ours, the South China Sea might as well be Canada’s playground.
Might makes right? That’s a very liberal interpretation.
