Chinese official warns Australia on navy movements in East, South China Seas
Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese last week said a Chinese warship acted in a dangerous manner by using its sonar during an incident with an Australian navy vessel in Japan's waters that injured a military diver. The same Australian vessel, Toowoomba, began joint patrols with the Philippines in the South China Sea for the first time on Saturday.
Chinese fighter jets 'orbit' Philippine patrol aircraft, Manila says
Two Chinese fighter jets were observed orbiting a Philippine aircraft during patrols with Australia in the South China Sea.

Australian warship passes through Taiwan Strait: Taipei military
An Australian warship navigated the Taiwan Strait, Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence confirmed. The ship sailed south on Thursday, with Taiwan's military monitoring without incident. This passage follows Australian PM Albanese's Beijing visit termed "positive." However, recent events involve allegations of Chinese warship-issued sonar injuries to Australian navy divers, labeled as "dangerous" by Albanese and dismissed as "reckless" by Beijing.
China urges Australia against 'irresponsible accusations' over naval sonar claim

The Australian defence ministry spokesman, Wu Qian, urged the Australian side to respect the facts and stop making reckless accusations against China.
Alarming mismatch remains between China's words and actions
China, under Xi Jinping's leadership, continues to test global resolve through assertive actions, contradicting diplomatic assurances. Recent dangerous activities by China's naval and law enforcement agencies challenge its diplomatic rhetoric. Despite Xi's claim of not seeking hegemony, his regime's coercion in the South China Sea and aggressive encounters raise doubts. Western leaders, like President Biden, accurately labeling Xi as a "dictator," counter China's orchestrated image.
