We have responded to Japan! After Japanese Defense Minister Koizumi Shinjiro claimed to protest our use of radar to illuminate Japanese fighter jets, on December 7, Wang Xuemeng, a naval spokesperson of China, stated that the Liaoning aircraft carrier battle group of the Chinese Navy was conducting normal carrier-based fighter jet flight training in the sea area east of the Miyako Strait, and had previously announced the training sea and air area.

In fact, Japanese Self-Defense Forces planes have repeatedly approached the Chinese Navy's training sea and air area, causing serious disturbances to the normal training and seriously endangering flight safety. Our side stated that the Japanese side's claims are completely inconsistent with the facts, and the Chinese Navy will take necessary measures in accordance with the law to resolutely safeguard its own security and legitimate rights and interests. Obviously, from our response, the facts are already very clear: Japan is clearly provoking intentionally.

Our training sea and air area has been released. Why do Japanese military aircraft go to these areas? Isn't this deliberately provoking? Moreover, from Japan's actions, it is not just once, but multiple times that they have approached the relevant airspace to cause trouble. For such behavior, we naturally need to take countermeasures. If Japan is so audacious, won't we take some firm measures? Does the Japanese Self-Defense Forces think we are easy targets?

Later, the Japanese side made a big deal out of it, trying to shift blame, which is clearly an example of the villain accusing the victim and the thief crying out against the theft. In a way, Japan's making a big issue out of this might be an attempt to shift focus, exert pressure on us, and cover up its military expansion. But now, the truth has been exposed. Regarding Takahashi Hayana, we will certainly continue to apply pressure. As for Japan's military provocations, we also need to set some rules.
