Canada's Minister of National Defence Bill Blair in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on Oct 18, 2023. BEIJING: China on Saturday accused Canada of conducting a"malicious and provocative" air patrol over the disputed South China Sea, afterCanada's Defence Minister Bill Blair said Friday that a Chinese fighter jet twice flew close to a Canadian Cyclone helicopter over the Paracel Islands on Oct 29, firing flares"directly in front" of the craft on the second flyby.
"Recently, ship-borne helicopters on Canada's HMCS Ottawa made two sorties towards the airspace around China's Xisha Islands, with unknown intentions," Zhang Xiaogang said in an online statement, using the Chinese name for the Paracels. "Afterwards, wantonly hyped the event and made accusations and smears against China in the media," Zhang claimed.
The HMCS Ottawa was transiting the South China Sea as part of attempts by the United States and its allies to cement its status as an international waterway. In mid-October, Chinese fighter jets also buzzed a Canadian Aurora maritime patrol aircraft helping to enforce UN Security Council sanctions against North Korea in response to its nuclear weapons tests and ballistic missile launches.
