    Canada is something like 10,000km away from the coast of China. Canadian forces aircraft have no business being out there.

    Let’s see if this sets off the western supremacy detector.

    “Canadian military jet intercepts Chinese air force plane off Canada’s borders ‘in an aggressive manner’”

    Chinese pilot consulted their intercept response chart and wondered why the Canadian plane wasn’t diverting because continuing on course after intercept would also be considered a level three.

    What the hell is a Canadian aircraft doing in international waters off the coast of China?

    The story takes on a whole new meaning if the roles are reversed … How would we feel if a Chinese military aircraft was flying in international waters off the coast of Canada?

    Plus there is military tension in the region … why in the world would we want to antagonize anyone in that situation?

      Seriously? You said the word international twice, yet I think you’re missing the point.

      That China intercepted us isn’t the news, the news is that they did it recklessly and endangered the lives of the crew on both planes.

        You know they already do it all the time off the coast of the US and Canada

        Please don’t just blatantly lie in front of everyone.
