    Australia criticizes China over 'unsafe' aerial confrontation over Yellow Sea

    A Chinese fighter jet endangered those aboard an Australian military helicopter during an "unsafe" and "unacceptable" confrontation over the Yellow Sea last week, Australia said on Monday. The incident occurred on Saturday, when a Chinese air force J-10 jet dropped flares above and several hundred meters ahead of an Australian MH60R Seahawk helicopter which was on a routine flight in the Yellow Sea as part of an operation to enforce sanctions against North Korea. The helicopter, flying from destroyer HMAS Hobart, took evasive action and dodged the flares, but the possible impact of being hit would have been "significant," Defence Minister Richard Marles said in a statement.
