- Chinese military actions ‘unsafe and unprofessional’: Albanese
- Event comes after Australia-China ties have steadily improved
Australia made clear its “strong objections” to Beijing after a Chinese destroyer disregarded warnings about personnel in the water and used sonar pulses that injured a navy diver, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said.
“This was dangerous, it was unsafe and unprofessional from the Chinese forces,” Albanese said in an interview with Sky News on Monday. “The consequences of these events are that they do damage to the relationship.”
