Australia, China inspect fighter jets

[ErnstBlofeld]

Sydney Morning Hearld:

 

Australia and China have played show-and-tell with their jet fighter aircraft ... in a gesture of transparency.

 

Defence head Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston said it underlined the Australian Defence Force's good relationship with China's defence force, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) - one not shared by the Americans.

 

He said it was a reciprocal arrangement

When PLA chief of the general staff General Chen Bingde visited Australia last year, he was allowed to inspect one of our jet aircraft.
