China’s show of force off Australia’s East Coast

Defence is monitoring the People’s Liberation Army-Navy Jiangkai-class frigate Hengyang, the Renhai-class Cruiser named Zunyi and the Fuchi-class replenishment vessel Weishanhu, which continue to operate to the east of Australia,’ the Australian Defence Force said in a statement on Wednesday night. It’s the second time within a week the Chinese warships have been spotted off Australia’s coast. The ADF confirmed last Thursday that officials were monitoring a People’s Liberation Army-Navy frigate, cruiser and replenishment vessel in the Coral Sea.
The appearance of three Chinese warships in waters off Australia has sparked serious questions about Beijing’s intentions and our nation’s readiness to defend itself.
