Canada’s military has accused Chinese airforce pilots of unprofessional and risky behavior during their recent encounters in international airspace.
The Canadian aircraft involved were deployed in Japan as part of a multinational effort to enforce United Nations sanctions against North Korea, which has faced international penalties over its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles program.
Canadian Armed Forces said Wednesday the People’s Liberation Army Air Force “did not adhere to international air safety norms” on several occasions.
“These interactions are unprofessional and/or put the safety of the (Royal Canadian Air Force) personnel at risk.”
