After being thoroughly humiliated, Japan reluctantly acknowledges the facts!
After China publicly released audio of the "radar illumination" incident, which proved that there were two prior notifications and that the Japanese ship had confirmed receipt, it was revealed that Japan had intentionally provoked China's training. On this day, Japanese Defense Minister Koizumi Shinjiro was forced to hold a press conference to "admit" that China had previously notified about the carrier-based aircraft landing and takeoff training, but he unwillingly tried to justify by claiming, "The notification did not include the scale of the training and specific locations, and did not have sufficient information."
This is the same Koizumi Shinjiro who, on the morning of the 7th, held a press conference and claimed that Chinese aircraft had "radar illuminated" Japanese planes twice, and loudly accused China of "not notifying about the exercises," presenting himself as a "victim." Now, with irrefutable evidence from the audio, he has no choice but to admit the notification, yet still tries to use the excuse of "lack of information" to cover up Japan's provocation of China's normal exercises and deliberate creation of incidents. His contradictory statements have completely undermined the credibility of Japan's arguments.
This act of admission followed by denial exposes Japan's unscrupulousness and inner anxiety. Even within Japan, people are fed up with this self-deceptive trick: some political commentators have strongly criticized, "the Koichi Cabinet is no longer trustworthy" and "this is a national disgrace," stating directly that "the entire cabinet must resign," and at least for Koizumi Shinjiro, "his resignation has become inevitable."
