Such an act is not the first of its kind as China has already done such laser showing acts in the past with many aircraft which is very recklessly and illegitimate. \ ![Chinese Warship Shone a Laser at an Australian Plane](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/viewsolution/83f942c1-3442-495c-afae-f1e04cee8296/images/25ac8114-7d06-4ac6-b3c6-90bde56458bb.jpeg)\ \ China not only on land but also in Sea is spreading its territory and hence it has been using such actions to be as dominant near its territory. Recently last year, Chinese Forces attacked India with its North Territory with the wrong intention but Indian Army Forces have responded to them with strict action. \ China, with its ill intention, many times have tried to enter the foreign boundaries in the Ocean similarly as it repeated its act in the Arafura Sea with Australian Air Craft. In response, the **Prime Minister Scott Morrison** of Australia raised the issue with other native states and said about the Chinese naval ship act was “the act of Intimidation” the Australian Department of Defense also condemned China and said the act was “the unprofessional and unsafe military conduct” and the **[Defence Minister](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/44897/who-is-the-current-defence-minister-of-india) Peter Dutton of Australia** said it as “aggressive, bullying act.” \ These laser acts become very common and there is not any prohibition mentioned in the international statutes to attack through the laser light hence China used it as its weapon. We should learn what laser attacks are. \ ##### Also Read- [Citizens of Russia are Not Our Enemy- Says Joe Biden](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/83110/citizens-of-russia-are-not-our-enemy-says-joe-biden) \ ##### What are Laser Attacks? Nowadays almost every **warship** has this laser light to aim its enemy or to paint its target before discharging its weapon. The use of these laser lights is mainly to determine the firing range and designate a target just before firing. \ Throwing a laser light, now become a hostile act as it can cause dangerous actions and it also has a dangerous [impact on Human](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/86790/global-warming-and-its-impact-on-human-health-is-a-serious-concern-why) Eyes ads it could make you blind and it can also affect the navigation system which could be made the system critical. \ Such laser was earlier used by us in our school days and at that time we did not know the [harmful effects](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/92686/harmful-effects-of-using-air-conditioner) of it but now when it is being used as a weapon is visible. \ ![Chinese Warship Shone a Laser at an Australian Plane](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/viewsolution/83f942c1-3442-495c-afae-f1e04cee8296/images/68702f3f-aa37-4287-a6eb-7c84f2941156.jpeg)\ \ ##### Why has China done so? The vessels of these kinds were operated by **PLA-N, Chinese Cost Guard, and Chinese Military Vessels**. Such a type of laser showing activity has been used by China against the Australian, the US, and other aircraft. China may be expressing its intention of confiscating the territory or telling the air crafts that they are not welcomed in the [South China Sea](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85515/explore-the-south-china-sea-dispute) because the air Crafts of the US, Japan, and France regularly conducted the patrolling in the South China Sea in the name of **[Freedom of Navigation Operation, or Fonops](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_navigation)**.
