Beijing’s foreign ministry has accused a Canadian surveillance plane engaged in North Korea sanctions monitoring with violating its airspace, a day after Ottawa said Chinese jets had harassed the plane.
At a press conference on Tuesday, spokesperson Mao Ning said that China had responded with “necessary measures” to the “illegal intrusion of a Canadian CP-140 aircraft into the airspace of Chiwei Yu, an affiliated island of China’s Diaoyu Dao.”
