Show Notes
We learnt this week that A New Zealand Navy vessel was followed by 7 Chinese Warships while patrolling Asian waters.
The HMNZS Aotearoa had crossed through the Taiwan Strait, and was patrolling international waters to curb North Korean war programmes.
Commodore Shane Arndell told Ryan Bridge that this is a routine practice, and communication was open between the HMNZS Aotearoa and the Chinese fleet.
'We communicate, we let each other know what we're doing, we keep it all nice and safe and everything is respectful.'
