    Canada is something like 10,000km away from the coast of China. Canadian forces aircraft have no business being out there.

    Let’s see if this sets off the western supremacy detector.

    “Canadian military jet intercepts Chinese air force plane off Canada’s borders ‘in an aggressive manner’”

    Chinese pilot consulted their intercept response chart and wondered why the Canadian plane wasn’t diverting because continuing on course after intercept would also be considered a level three.

    What the hell is a Canadian aircraft doing in international waters off the coast of China?

    The story takes on a whole new meaning if the roles are reversed … How would we feel if a Chinese military aircraft was flying in international waters off the coast of Canada?

    Plus there is military tension in the region … why in the world would we want to antagonize anyone in that situation?

      Seriously? You said the word international twice, yet I think you’re missing the point.

      That China intercepted us isn’t the news, the news is that they did it recklessly and endangered the lives of the crew on both planes.

        Please don’t just blatantly lie in front of everyone.

      It’s there as part of a UN mission enforcing sanctions against North Korea.

            Surely not trying to liberate their own country after the US violently disbanded the democratic provisional government in the south, formed a right wing military dictatorship, and started killing pro democracy protestors by the tens of thousands. That would be fucked up if they were sanctioned for that.

            If youre not going to read a history book on the conflict written from an anticolonialist perspective at least listen to the blowback season on the Korean war.
