The Australian Department of Defence and security agencies are once again tracking a flotilla of military ships belonging to the CCP’s People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLA-N) which could potentially sail into Australian waters before Christmas.

It will be a repeat of a February incident when three ships under the control of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) circumnavigated Australia and undertook a live fire exercise in the Tasman Sea, forcing 49 commercial passengers flights to divert course.
