💨 Abstract

China's People's Liberation Army Navy conducted two live-fire military exercises near Australia and New Zealand, causing concern in both countries. The Albanese government lodged a diplomatic protest, but China said it was "deeply surprised and strongly dissatisfied" by the response. The exercises took place in international waters, but Australia's Defense Minister was critical of the short notice given for the use of live rounds.
