Chinese military harassed Dutch warship enforcingxa0UN sanctions on North Korea, Netherlands says

A Dutch warship was harassed by Chinese military aircraft in the East China Sea, according to a statement from the Dutch Defense Ministry. The incident occurred while the frigate HNLMS Tromp was on patrol. Two Chinese fighter jets circled the Dutch vessel multiple times, while a marine patrol helicopter was approached by two Chinese warplanes and a helicopter. The Dutch government expressed concern over the potentially unsafe situation. The Tromp was supporting a multinational coalition enforcing UN sanctions on North Korea. This incident adds to a series of encounters where Chinese forces have been accused of unsafe maneuvers in the East and South China Seas.
