A Chinese naval flotilla came within 10 kilometres of Australia’s exclusive economic zone last year, and top defence officials warn further deployments are likely as Beijing flexes its military power.

And if I’m understanding correctly they were 10 km away from that 22km boundary
Edit wait nevermind from the article, the part that I can read through the paywall anyway, they were 10km from Australias exclusive economic zone which stretches out 340km from the coast. So it’d literally be an order of magnitude further away than what I originally said lol
And that would be the “Contiguous Zone” up to 44km (from the coastline) in which they have limited jurisdiction but it’s still Austrialian territory.
Edit: true… hahaha I found one of those pages to remove paywalls. So the title is clickbait :( https://archive.is/20260211071807/https://www.afr.com/policy/foreign-affairs/chinese-warships-came-within-10km-of-australian-waters-defence-20260211-p5o1h4
Chinese warship clickbait is legitimately it’s own genre of fear mongering in aus. There was a story not too long ago about a Chinese navy flotilla sailing through Australian waters. Turned out it was a research boat doing research on behalf of and at the request of Australia.
