The Minister of Defense of Nieuw -Zeeland, Judith Collins, has warned that the Chinese navy that is currently in the Tasman -Sea is 'extremely capable', with one of the warships with ballistic missiles with a range of 1,000 km.
New Zealand confirmed the second practice day in the Tasman Sea on Saturday after a Chinese warship had fired a gun.
It came after three ships of the People's Liberation Army Navy had carried out NSW in recent days at about 630 km from Eden.
Qantas, Emirates, Virgin and Air Nieuw -Zeeland have adjusted flight paths between Australia and Nieuw -Zeeland after receiving first reports from live shooting on Friday.
Spokesperson Wu Qian van China, Wu Qian, hit back on Sunday to accuse Australia of the intentional 'Hying -up' of the danger, claiming that they had acted in 'full compliance with international law'.
“Australia knew how to know this well, unreasonable accusations to China and hypnoted it intentionally,” said Mr. Qian.
“We are deeply surprised and therefore strongly dissatisfied with it.”
But on Monday, the Minister of Defense of Nieuw -Zeeland said that the claim that they acted in accordance with international practices was 'wrong'.
China has raised his word war with Australia and accuses it of 'Hying -Up' voltages about living shooting exercises. China's Jiangkai-Class Figat Hugyang is depicted for the Coral Sea on 11 February

Mrs. Collins said that China should have informed up to 48 hours before the fleet of naval vessels started to shoot and described the exercises as 'unusual'.
'There was a warning for civil aviation flights that was in fact a very short report – a few hours – in contrast to what we would consider best practice, what a cancellation period of 12 to 24 hours is, so that planes do not have to be quickly diverted when when when when They are on the wing, “Mrs. Collins told RNZ.
She added: 'The weapons they have are extremely capable. 112 vertical launch cells are has and an anti-ship ballistic rocket range of 540 nautical miles has reported. '
Mrs. Collins said they followed the ships closely after China had so far ignored requests from Zeeland for more information.
'We take them at the nominal value that they undertake normal transits when it comes to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea that they do not break the law.
'But as we said, it is always better to give much more knowledge when it comes to shooting live.
Mrs. Collins said that the ships were currently around 280 nautical miles east of Tasmania.
On Sunday, Minister of Health Mark Butler said that China had 'the right' to perform exercises while the warships were in international waters.

Both Prime Minister Anthony Albanian and Minister of Defense Richard Marles also both said that the activities of the Chinese warships were legal under international law.
However, spokesperson Andrew Hastie of Defense Opposition has beaten the couple about their handling of the situation.
“When will the Prime Minister and his defense minister stand up for the Australian national interest and insist on mutual respect of their Chinese counterparts,” said Mr. Hastie.
He said that the growing military presence of China was 'gunboat diplomacy', and that the communist state tried to project power in the Pacific region and test American allies like Australia.
Mr Hastie pointed out that there had been other incidents between the Australian and Chinese troops in recent years, including dangerous maneuvers by the liberation army of the people.
“This is a weak government that keeps Australians in the dark and fails in the most crucial role of the government – to maintain our safety and sovereignty,” he continued.
Mr Butler rejected those claims when he hit the 'juvenile' reaction from the opposition.
“The opposition (IS) who again uses a little loud hail diplomacy for domestic political purposes,” he told Sky News.
“What do they say we have to do? This is youth. This is student politics. They said not one thing that they would have the ADF done that we are not currently doing.
“It's all about politics, including bizarly, with regard to national security.”
Foreign Minister Penny Wong met her Chinese counterpart and demanded answers about why the ships only offered a limited notification before the dismissal was carried out, on the sidelines of a G20 meeting in Johannesburg on Friday.
