Tensions between Australia and China have erupted again after a mid-air confrontation over the Paracel Islands. Canberra accused a Chinese jet of “unsafe and unprofessional” conduct near its P-8 Poseidon aircraft, while Beijing hit back, calling Australia’s account “pure hype” and a “cover-up.” China lodged a formal protest, insisting the aircraft violated its airspace. The flashpoint comes just days after Anthony Albanese met Donald Trump in Washington, reaffirming the AUKUS nuclear submarine pact — a move Beijing warned could “intensify arms race risks” across the Indo-Pacific.
