According to the Beijing Daily client message, on December 9, Gao Jiakun, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, held a regular press conference.
A reporter from the Japanese Asahi Shimbun asked, "The Japanese defense minister said today regarding the 'radar illumination' issue, 'We believe that the situation of prior notification of the training sea and air space as stated by China does not exist.' Spokesperson, according to the information available to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, when and in what form was the notification made?"
"The Chinese Navy spokesperson stated clearly on December 7 that the training sea and air space had been announced in advance. For specific details, you can inquire with the relevant Chinese authorities," Gao Jiakun said.
According to the People's Navy, on the 7th, Rear Admiral Wang Xuemeng, spokesperson for the People's Liberation Army Navy, stated that recently, the Liaoning aircraft carrier group of the Chinese Navy conducted normal flight training of carrier-based aircraft in the sea area east of the Miyako Strait, and had previously announced the training sea and air space. During this period, Japanese Self-Defense Forces aircraft repeatedly approached the Chinese Navy's training sea and air space, causing serious interference with the normal training of China, and seriously endangering flight safety. The relevant hype from the Japanese side is completely inconsistent with the facts. We solemnly demand that the Japanese side immediately stop spreading false accusations and strictly restrain frontline actions. The Chinese Navy will take necessary measures in accordance with the law to resolutely safeguard its own security and legitimate rights and interests."
