The Australian Defence Force says it is closely monitoring three Chinese military ships which have been spotted just 150 nautical miles from Sydney after moving steadily down the east coast of Australia over recent days.

Defence last week revealed the Chinese flotilla had been spotted off north-east Queensland as it also disclosed an Australian military plane had been involved in a dangerous incident with the Chinese People\u2019s Liberation Army in the South China Sea.

\u201CDefence is monitoring the People\u2019s Liberation Army-Navy Jiangkai-class frigate Hengyang, the Renhai-class Cruiser named Zunyi and the Fuchi-class replenishment vessel Weishanhu, which continue to operate to the east of Australia,\u201D the ADF said in a statement on Wednesday night.

The London Financial Times reported the vessels had come as close as 150 nautical miles (278 kilometres) from the coast of Sydney.

This is believed to be the furthest down the east coast that Chinese navy ships have travelled without being on an official military visit to Australia.

\u201CDefence routinely monitors all maritime traffic in Australia\u2019s Exclusive Economic Zone and maritime approaches,\u201D the ADF said.

\u201CAustralia respects the rights of all states to exercise freedom of navigation and overflight in international waters and airspace, under international law, particularly the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.\u201D

While the three Chinese ships had not breached international law, the ADF was concerned enough to issue a rare statement about their presence within Australia\u2019s exclusive economic zone last week.

The Chinese vessels travelled through South-East Asia before entering Australia\u2019s maritime approaches.

Defence Minister Richard Marles said last week that the government was \u201Cresponding in a serious way\u201D to the presence of the ships off the Australian coast, even though China had acted \u201Cperfectly in accordance with international law\u201D.

\u201CI\u2019ve ordered a deployment of both navy and air force assets to make sure that we are shadowing this to have a clear understanding of what\u2019s going on,\u201D Marles said.

Jennifer Parker, an expert associate at the Australian National University\u2019s National Security College, said: \u201CI assume this is Defence trying to communicate with the Australian public that Chinese military behaviour in the region is changing.

Parker, a former naval officer, said the PLA was \u201Cbecoming more expeditionary and is operating further from China\u2019s shores\u201D.
