"Beijing has furiously reacted to Defence Minister Richard Marles' recount of a recent interaction between a Royal Australian Air Force aircraft and a Chinese fighter jet over the South China Sea.

Chinese state-controlled media outlet, The Global Times accused Australia of “deliberately” concealing some of the pivotal details from the aircraft engagement after Mr Marles and the Defence Department addressed the incident on Sunday.

Australia was also slammed by the mouthpiece for wanting to impress the United States in the Pacific in an attempt to become "Washington's right-hand man". "

Hmmmmm. Hardly a furious reaction. Seems like an attempt to rescue the super-dud from his tizzy. lol It seems to be aimed at allowing Marles to re-ingratiate himself into mainstream Aus. Marles' subservience to ccp must not be forgotten.

Sky is trying to present Marles as not only growing a pair overnight but somehow he is now a champion of Aus. Hello.
