Foreign Minister Penny Wong has rebuked one of China\u2019s top diplomats over the Chinese navy\u2019s dangerous use of sonar pulses against Australian divers, describing the incident earlier this month as \u201cdangerous and unprofessional\u201d.<\/p>\n

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton also raised the incident in a meeting with Liu Jianchao in Canberra on Wednesday, telling the head of the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s International Liaison Department that it was lucky no one died in the incident.<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for Wong said: \u201cThe minister raised the HMAS Toowoomba incident in her formal meeting with minister Liu Jianchao.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe minister reiterated the Australian government\u2019s serious concerns following an unsafe and unprofessional interaction with a People\u2019s Liberation Army-Navy destroyer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Foreign Minister sees \u00adengagement with senior Chinese officials as an opportunity for \u00addialogue, in order to navigate our differences.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Wong said: \u201cWe had a frank discussion about bilateral relations, including consular matters, and the importance of international law, rules and norms to peace and security in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

An Australian navy diver was injured while clearing entangled fishing nets from the propellers of a warship operating in international waters in Japan\u2019s exclusive economic zone.<\/p>\n

In remarks at an event in Sydney, Liu said the confrontation occurred in waters both Japan and China claim and that the Chinese navy did nothing that would \u201cendanger\u201d Australian sailors or divers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat would happen if a Chinese naval ship came to \u2026. waters near Australia?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cNaturally you send your ships to monitor and identify and to do anything to prepare for any wrong happenings.\u201d<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for Dutton said the opposition leader used his meeting with Liu to \u201craise Australia\u2019s concern about the recent actions of the Chinese navy in the strongest possible terms\u201d, adding that he asked for his concerns to be relayed directly to Chinese President Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe use of a hull-mounted sonar in close proximity to Australian Navy personnel was unacceptable and unprovoked,\u201d the spokeswoman said, summarising Dutton\u2019s remarks to Liu.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was fortunate that no lives had been lost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has condemned China for its dangerous use of sonar near Australian navy divers, but has refused to publicly confirm whether he raised the issue with Xi on the sidelines of the APEC summit in San Francisco.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve made it clear that we disagree with what occurred, that we have the strongest possible objection, and that this sort of event should not occur,\u201d Albanese said last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe frigate involved clearly had out a sign that there were divers below. They were freeing up a fishing net from the equipment that was required under the water. And they should have been allowed to undertake this normal activity without this sort of intervention from the Chinese.\u201d<\/p>\n
