Breaking News! Japan Strongly Protests!
Japanese Defense Minister Koizumi Shinjiro held an emergency press conference early on the 7th, stating that the J-15 fighter jet, which took off from China's aircraft carrier Liaoning, had twice intermittently radar-swept the Japanese Self-Defense Forces' F-15 fighter jets on the afternoon of the 6th. The Japanese side has already lodged a strong protest with China and "formally requested that such incidents not happen again."
This is a purely baseless political maneuver. The Liaoning aircraft carrier conducting normal training in international waters is a legitimate right of the Chinese military to safeguard national sovereignty and regional peace and stability, in line with international law. In contrast, Japan dispatched F-15 fighter jets to approach the Chinese aircraft carrier group, conduct close-range reconnaissance and interference, which is itself a provocative and dangerous act. The Chinese fighter jet's radar illumination is a necessary warning and just countermeasure against Japan's disruptive actions, aimed at maintaining the safety of the training, which is beyond reproach.
