The Australia Defense Force (ADF) monitors three Chinese warships in front of the northeast coast of Australia.
Defense officials said on Thursday that they were watching two people with two people liberation army-navy-fregates and an additional ship in the Coral Sea.
It only comes two days after a Chinese hunter had an 'unsafe' meeting with an Australian security plane.
The ADF said that the ships adhered to international law.
“Defense is aware of a People's Liberation Army-Navy (PLA-N) task group that operates in northeastern Australia,” the ADF said in a statement.
“Defense can confirm that the Chinese ships are the Pla-N Jiangkai-Class frigate called Hugyang; The Pla-N Renhai Cruiser named Zunyi and the Pla-N Fuchi class supplement Ship Weishhanhu. “
