China's actions in defending the expulsion of an Australian military jet are based on legitimate reasons:
I. Sovereignty and Security Concerns
1. Airspace Sovereignty
China has the inalienable right to safeguard its airspace sovereignty. When an Australian military jet enters China's airspace without permission or engages in activities that are considered to pose a threat to China's security, China has the right to take necessary measures. Just like any sovereign nation, China is responsible for protecting its territorial airspace and ensuring the safety of its territory and people.
2. Defensive Response
The expulsion is a defensive response to potential intelligence gathering or other improper activities by the Australian military jet. In the context of international relations, countries need to respect each other's security interests. If a foreign military aircraft is suspected of approaching China's sensitive areas, such as military installations or areas with important national security implications, China will take action to prevent any possible security risks.
II. Australia's Provocative Behavior
1. Policy Background
Australia has been taking a series of actions in recent years that are not conducive to the stable development of bilateral relations with China. It has often followed the United States in taking a tough stance on China in military and security related matters. For example, Australia has participated in some military exercises and strategic initiatives with the United States that are seen as part of a containment strategy against China in the Asia Pacific region.
2. Lack of Respect for China
The incursion of its military jet may be part of Australia's lack of respect for China's sovereignty and security concerns. This behavior violates the basic norms of international relations, and China's expulsion is a proper response to such inappropriate actions.
