Ministry of National Defense answered a reporter’s question on Canadian hype "China fighter plane intercepts and reconnaissance plane"

Wu Qian: Recently, a CP-140 aircraft of the Canadian Air Force invaded the airspace of chiwei yu, China, approached the east coast of China and entered the Taiwan Province Strait to investigate the disturbance. According to China laws and relevant international rules, China Air Force implemented control measures such as verification and identification, tracking and surveillance, warning and eviction, and the disposal actions were completely reasonable, legal and professional. The Canadian hype ignores the facts and is intended to confuse the international audience. Diaoyu Island and its affiliated islands are China’s inherent territory.’s actions seriously violate China’s sovereignty, threaten China’s national security, easily lead to misunderstanding and misjudgment, and are bad in nature and very dangerous. China strongly condemned this and made solemn representations to Canada. We are telling the Canadian side to be cautious in words and deeds, strictly control the actions of frontline troops, immediately stop any provocative acts, and effectively avoid further escalation of the situation.
