China's aircraft carrier conducts routine military exercises in international waters, while Japanese side's continuous hype has drawn attention.

Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao reported today: "On Monday (December 8), the Japan Self-Defense Forces stated that a Chinese aircraft carrier battle group, which was sailing near Japan, conducted intensive air operations on Sunday (December 7) in the Pacific Ocean east of the Okinawa Islands."

This is a normal military exercise conducted by China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, in international waters in accordance with international law, and is beyond reproach. However, Japan has continuously hyped up the so-called "radar illumination" incident, and in the context of its own aircraft harassing China's exercises, it has turned the situation around, falsely accusing China, and openly declared that it will "continue to monitor the movements of the Chinese military." This behavior is a naked provocation, and it is a political maneuver aimed at misleading international public opinion and stoking the "China threat theory."
