Sep 18, 2024, 07:34 AM
China's national broadcaster, CCTV, has released rare footage showing a People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) jet firing flares and metal chaff at an Australian Royal Air Force (RAAF) plane over the South China Sea. The footage, described as 'deeply troubling' by various sources, depicts a tense encounter and has been labeled as propaganda by Australian officials. The footage is part of a documentary that dubs Australia as the 'enemy'. The incident has raised concerns within the Australian government, with the Shadow Defence Minister urging Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to address the issue with the Chinese president. A top defence analyst criticized the footage, suggesting it mocks the Albanese government.
