    1. The Chinese government has built a blue-water navy to project power into the Pacific region. They are now using gunboat diplomacy to test US allies like Australia.

    Australian Foreign Ministry
    1. We are aware of this task group, we are monitoring this task group very closely. It is, as I understand it, operating in international waters.
    2. When Australia, for example, does a live-firing event such as this – which countries are entitled do on the high seas and that's where this task group is, they're in international waters – we would typically give 12 to 24 hours' notice, which enables aircraft that are going to potentially be in the vicinity to make plans to fly around.

    1. But there is no doubt that this is, not unprecedented, but an unusual event.
    2. We weren't notified by China, we became aware of the issue during the course of the day.
    3. This is activity that has occurred in waters consistent with international law.
    4. We are keeping close watch on them, and we will be making sure that we watch every move.
    5. What China did was put out a notification that it was intending to engage in live fire, and by that I mean a broadcast that was picked up by airlines, literally commercial planes that were flying across the Tasman.

    Guo Jiakun
    Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs
    1. The [People's Liberation Army] Southern Theatre Command organised the Chinese fleet to conduct a far seas exercise.
  5. NZ
    Judith Collins
    New Zealand Defence Forces
    1. We have not been informed by the Chinese government why this task group has been deployed into our region, and we have not been informed what its future plans are.
  6. US
    Charles Edel
    Center for Strategic and International Studies
    1. This is part of a pattern of unsafe, unprofessional chest-beating.
