Maybe the Chinese vessels got lost and found themselves arriving at the Tasman sea instead.I think this footage and those ships are associated with the previous exercise. At the moment I am leaning towards no Chinese ships having been present for the 2025 edition, though the flag and banner from my previous post suggests some level of representation. I also note that two PLAN frigates and an LHD visited Indonesia only a , so the absence would not appear to reflect a recent deterioration in relations between Indonesia and China.
