There weren’t any claims about any national borders being crossed in the article.

The point of interest in this event is the fact that this is a new type of miliatristic behaviour from the Chinese regime towards Australia, and in this case New Zealand.

The other point of interest, is that of normal processes not being followed, which i would hope Australia does during our freedom of navigation exercises, and hopefully will be followed by the Chinese Navy in future.

To be clear, my problem with your comment, isn’t your opinion being expressed. Thats, of course yours, and none of my beeswax to police. But its the mischaracterisation of the events. In times like these, i think its damaging to our national conversation to mischaracterise events like these, whether unintentional or not.
