中国已向新西兰提出正式抗议，指责一架P-8A军用飞机在中国黄海和东海空域及水域进行巡逻，称其构成骚扰并危及民航安全。外交部发言人郭家坤敦促惠灵顿尊重中国主权和安全关切。新西兰尚未回应。
中国外交部发言人郭家坤于周五表示，一架新西兰P-8A反潜巡逻机在中国黄海和东海空域及水域进行了持续的近距离侦察和骚扰活动。
郭家坤称，此类行动损害了中国安全利益，加剧了误解和误判风险，并严重干扰了民用航空运营。他表示：“中国敦促新西兰严格遵守国际法和国际关系基本准则，尊重中国主权和安全关切，维护民用航空安全和秩序。”
这是中国首次公开评论此次巡逻。上个月，日本表示一架驻扎在冲绳嘉手纳空军基地的新西兰P-8A飞机将在3月中旬至4月中旬监测非法海上活动，包括朝鲜船只可能违反联合国制裁的船对船转运。
这是新西兰自2018年以来第九次开展此类巡逻，但尚不清楚中国投诉的飞机是否参与了该任务。

South Korean Defence Minister Ahn Gyu-back lodged a complaint immediately with the US Forces Korea commander after receiving a report of the standoff last week.

South Korean media highlight this as underscoring Seoul's growing difficulty in balancing ties with security ally the US and top trading partner China.
