‘Everyone is afraid’ of China’s aggressive behaviour

The South China Sea region needs to look at the “aggressive behaviour” of China after reports of a near-collision between US and Chinese ships, according to The Australian’s National Editor Dennis Shanahan. “When two warships come within less than 200 meters of each other, that’s as serious as it gets,” Mr Shanahan told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “We’ve seen other actions by the Chinese firing lasers at Australian aircraft, all this is very dangerous … and I think everyone is afraid of this.”
