Lets assume there was explosives onboard. Is that really an ethical response from China trying to prevent the aircraft from landing and making it someone elses problem?

I would have thought the abmulance and fire trucks would have been to help any injured passengers in the event of a detonation, not an attempt to block the runway or prevent access.

I know for a fact if a flight bound for Sydney was suspected of having a bomb onboard it is in our Aussie nature to get it down and help everyone survive.
Why should it be their problem?

China and Australia are different in terms of locations aswell, its much harder to tell them to go home when its so far away.
