I'm not a bot .... at least I don't think I am
But I still want to ask .... why are Canadian military aircraft flying in international waters off the coast of China.
How would we feel if Chinese military aircraft were flying off the coast of Canada?
And there is military tension on Chinese borders, why would we want to further antagonize them?
They were on a mission related to sanctions in North Korea which is right next to china.
Well it's international airspace and nations can fly whatever they want inside international airspace regardless of the proximity to a nation.
Russians do it to Canada and the United States often but it doesn't make much fanfare because the parties involved handle it professionally

You mean, why are planes flying in international airspace?
Maybe grow up a bit, China. You’re behaving like a toddler.
From the description of the video, should you care to read it:
Uh, they already do that. We generally don't buzz the planes and antagonize them
It said why in the video.
It’s part of our role in ensuring international sanctions are followed
It’s about shipping lanes to North Korea, nothing to do with China
How would we feel if they sent spy balloons directly over our countries?
Canada > China, they don't need permission to fly planes over the ocean
