Who would have thought that Koizumi Shigeyasu would pull off such a stunt! On December 16, Koizumi Shigeyasu showed a pair of gloves, claiming that this was the pair of gloves mentioned by the Chief of Staff of the Combined Forces during a previous press conference. This time, he really brought them over. Self-defense forces endured radar illumination for 30 minutes, always adhering to the principles of "calmness" and "rigor," meticulously completing their tasks. I feel even more proud of this again.
Koizumi Shigeyasu said that at present, various pieces of information are flying around, but the core of this incident is the intermittent radar illumination lasting 30 minutes. We will not be distracted by any attempts to shift the focus from this core issue, and we will continue to deal with it calmly and rigorously. It's obvious that after we presented the audio evidence proving that Koizumi Shigeyasu had publicly lied, we didn't expect Koizumi Shigeyasu to bring out a pair of gloves for a staged photo.
Koizumi Shigeyasu seems to imply that this pair of gloves witnessed our "bullying" of Japanese aircraft using radar illumination, which is the evidence, and Japan is the "victim." Koizumi Shigeyasu stated, "Focus on the essence of the 30-minute radar illumination." But the question is why was it specifically Japanese military aircraft that were illuminated, rather than aircraft from other countries? Japan had received notice, yet they deliberately approached to provoke, isn't that just reaping what they sowed?
Koizumi Shigeyasu should not think of portraying Japan as a "victim" and covering up its inherent provocative actions. The staged photos are for the international community to see. Who among the international community has come forward to speak for Japan? To deceive the Japanese public and incite hostility towards China, to create public opinion for expanding military capabilities, this is one of the current Japanese government's strategies. We clearly see that the Kishida government is highly ambitious, which makes us have to remain highly vigilant against Japan. If Japan takes reckless actions, we will not stand idly by.
