The interception of a Canadian military plane by Chinese fighter jets over international waters on Monday was unacceptable, dangerous and reckless, said Defence Minister Bill Blair.
How dare China go intercept us while we are doing a fly by right on the edge of one of their allies air space. If the Chinese were doing a fly by on the coast of Alaska we would totally defend their right to do so and not take any action!

From what I read (and saw on video), the issue is that the Chinese jet got within 10 meters of the plane being intercepted… Which is reckless as hell.
It was literally part of a UN operation.
It’s a Security Council resolution, very different than a broader UN operation.
The resolution itself does not provide for military force to be used for enforcement. Canada was acting against this.
Would you like to refresh my memory on which countries have permanent veto power on the Security Council?
Would you also like to remind me which countries on the Security Council voted to impose sanctions on North Korea?
I’ll wait.
China did, but as stated the resolution does not grant the use of military enforcement.
