Defence Minister Richard Marles has raised concerns about dangerous military incidents with his Chinese counterpart after using a major speech to call on Beijing to take a greater role in promoting peace.
Mr Marles spoke to Dong Jun about at least two unsafe incidents by the Chinese military against Australian defence personnel on the sidelines of a defence summit in Singapore on Saturday.
They included a Chinese jet forcing an Australian navy helicopter to take evasive action after dropping flares directly in front of it and a Chinese ship using sonar pulses against naval divers.
