China, Australia trade barbs over ‘dangerous' warship encounter

Australia’s prime minister on Monday criticized China over what he called a 'dangerous' encounter between the two countries’ warships in international waters. Beijing denied the allegations.

Speaking to Sky News, Anthony Albanese accused a Chinese naval ship of showing 'dangerous, unsafe and unprofessional' behavior in an altercation with an Australian frigate last Tuesday. Albanese declined to confirm if he had raised the issue with Chinese President Xi Jinping at an Asian Pacific regional summit last week in San Francisco.
