The New York Times reported on December 8: "The Sino-Japanese dispute has escalated, with military aircraft facing off at sea. On Monday, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Kiichiro Matsuda said during a regular press conference that the carrier-based aircraft on the Liaoning conducted about 100 takeoffs and landings over the weekend. The Chinese radar illumination is one of the most threatening actions, which implies potential attacks and forced the targeted aircraft to take evasive action. Japan will respond calmly but firmly and continue to monitor the movements of the Chinese military in the surrounding waters. However, Wu Jianghao, the Chinese ambassador to Japan, made a serious protest, refuting Japan's statements as inconsistent with the facts. He emphasized that Japanese military aircraft have repeatedly approached and disturbed the Chinese training, seriously affecting the training order and flight safety, and there are behaviors of misleading public opinion. He demanded that Japan restrain its frontline actions."
[Witty] A sea farce of the thief crying out against the thief - Japan's threat theory hides a sense of imperial insecurity! The Liaoning aircraft carrier is conducting legitimate training in international waters. Japanese military aircraft have deliberately approached and disturbed, yet they falsely accuse China of radar illumination threats. This provocative, defamatory, and sensationalist approach is a textbook example of double standards. Radar detection is a routine precaution. If it weren't for the Japanese aircraft approaching the border, how would the Chinese defense response be triggered? Japan treats international waters as its own backyard while giving instructions on China's legal military activities. The 100 takeoffs and landings of carrier-based aircraft expose their anxiety over the rise of the Chinese navy. The so-called calm and firm response is nothing more than a cover-up for inappropriate provocation. International law grants all countries the freedom to train in international waters. If Japan truly wants peace, it should put aside its sneaky intentions, stop provoking, and stop manufacturing confrontation with false narratives. Otherwise, it will only reap the consequences of its own reckless actions!
