China accuses Canadian military of ‘provocations’ near N Korea

Al Jazeera  

Canada had previously accused China of harassing its pilots during patrols to monitor UN sanctions on North Korea. China has accused Canadian military jets of stepping up reconnaissance and “provocations” against the country, with its foreign ministry warning Ottawa of potential “severe consequences”. “The UN Security Council has never authorised any country to carry out military surveillance in the seas and airspace of other countries in the name of enforcing sanctions,” foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said. Wu Qian, spokesman at the Chinese defence ministry, said the Chinese military took reasonable measures to deal with Canada’s actions and has made “solemn representations” via diplomatic channels. The military said that Chinese planes have at times flown so close they forced Canadian pilots to quickly change course to “avoid a potential collision with the intercepting aircraft”.
