China's national broadcaster, CCTV, has released footage showing a People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) jet firing flares and metal chaff at an Australian Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) plane over the South China Sea. The footage, part of a documentary, depicts a tense encounter and has been described as 'deeply troubling' by Australian officials. The Australian Coalition has called on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to address the matter with Chinese President Xi Jinping, labeling the incident as 'propaganda' and 'not the actions of a friend'. A top defense analyst criticized the footage for its 'trolling aspect' and 'mockery', suggesting it mocks the Albanese government. The documentary also dubs Australia as the 'enemy'.
