OTTAWA: A Chinese warplane fired flares at a Canadian helicopter over
international waters
last Sunday, defence minister Bill Blair told reporters on Friday, saying Ottawa would express its concerns to Beijing.
His comments marked the second time in two weeks that Canada has accused China's air force of unsafe behavior. In mid-October, Blair said a Chinese jet had come within five meters (16 feet) of a surveillance plane taking part in an
UN operation
to enforce sanctions against North Korea.
