The Canadian plane was on a routine patrol over the East China Sea when it was intercepted by the Chinese jet. The Chinese jet flew dangerously close to the Canadian plane, forcing it to take evasive action.

Statement by the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the interception of a Canadian Forces plane by a Chinese military jet
Ottawa, Ontario – May 27, 2023 – The Government of Canada condemns the People's Republic of China's (PRC) aggressive interception of a Canadian Forces CP-140 Aurora aircraft on May 26, 2023, over the East China Sea.
The Canadian aircraft was conducting a routine flight in international airspace when it was intercepted by a PRC J-10 fighter jet. The PRC jet flew dangerously close to the Canadian aircraft, forcing it to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
The PRC's actions are provocative, unprofessional, and unsafe. They constitute a serious violation of international law and norms.
Canada is committed to maintaining a positive and constructive relationship with the PRC. However, we will not hesitate to stand up for our interests and the interests of our allies and partners.
We call on the PRC to cease its aggressive and unsafe behavior. We also call on the PRC to respect international law and norms.
Background on the incident
On May 26, 2023, a Canadian Forces CP-140 Aurora aircraft was conducting a routine flight in international airspace over the East China Sea when it was intercepted by a PRC J-10 fighter jet.
The PRC jet flew dangerously close to the Canadian aircraft, forcing it to take evasive action to avoid a collision. The PRC jet also released flares, which caused the Canadian aircraft to have to take evasive action again.
The Canadian aircraft was not damaged in the incident, and its crew were not injured.
Tensions between Canada and China
The incident has raised concerns about the growing tensions between Canada and China. In recent years, there have been a number of close encounters between Chinese and Canadian military aircraft, as well as Chinese intrusions into Canadian waters.
In 2019, a Chinese military vessel collided with a Canadian warship in the South China Sea. The Chinese vessel was subsequently ordered to leave Canadian waters.
In 2020, a Chinese military jet flew dangerously close to a Canadian surveillance plane in the Arctic Ocean. The Canadian plane was forced to take evasive action to avoid a collision.
The Chinese government has also been accused of interfering in Canadian domestic affairs. In 2018, the Canadian government accused China of trying to influence the outcome of the Canadian federal election.
Conclusion
The interception of a Canadian Forces plane by a Chinese military jet is a serious incident. It is a reminder of the growing tensions between Canada and China.
Canada must continue to stand up for its interests and the interests of its allies and partners in the face of Chinese aggression. We must also continue to work with our allies and partners to promote a free and open Indo-Pacific.
Analysis
The incident between the Canadian Forces plane and the Chinese military jet is a reminder of the growing tensions between Canada and China. The two countries have been at odds over a number of issues, including trade, human rights, and the South China Sea.
The Chinese government has been increasingly assertive in recent years, and it is clear that it is not afraid to use its military to achieve its goals. The incident between the Canadian and Chinese planes is just one example of China's growing military presence in the Indo-Pacific region.
The Canadian government has condemned the Chinese government's actions, and it has called on China to respect international law and norms. However, it is unclear how Canada will respond to the incident. Canada does not have the military capability to match China, so it will need to rely on its allies and partners to help it deter Chinese aggression.
The incident between the Canadian and Chinese planes is a wake-up call for Canada. Canada needs to develop a comprehensive strategy to deal with China's growing assertiveness in the Indo-Pacific region. This strategy should include investing in the Canadian military, working
