The Australian military is closely tracking a high-tech Chinese surveillance ship making its way towards Queensland ahead of large-scale military exercises which begin this week.
Australian Defence Forces are expecting the vessel to arrive on Friday to monitor the Talisman Saber 2021 war games involving Australia and the United States, which will be officially opened today.
Defence Minister Peter Dutton confirmed that the Chinese ship poses no threat to Australia and that the same sort of vessel was sent from CHina for the same reasons in previous years.
