Ministry of National Defense press spokesman Zhang Xiaogang answered questions from reporters about the Japanese speculation about radar irradiation on board aircraft of our aircraft carrier formation in the Liaoning Fleet. Reporter: According to reports, Japan's Ministry of Defense released news that the aircraft carriers of China's Liaoning aircraft carrier formation carried out radar irradiation on Japanese Air Self-Defense Force fighter jets in the southeast high seas of Okinawa Island, and Japan strongly protested against China. What comments does the speaker have? Zhang Xiaogang: China's Liaoning aircraft carrier formation is carrying out offshore training in the waters east of the Miyako Strait, in line with international law and practice. The Japanese side, on the other hand, maliciously and interfered with China's actions, and repeatedly sent airplanes to break into the training area set up and announced by the Chinese side. Afterwards, they also tried to falsify China's normal operation. It was nothing but thieves shouted to catch thieves and backfire. We express our strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to Japan's provocation and misleading public opinion. Recently, the Japanese side has stepped up and ventured into trouble in the field of military security. What is the intention? Everyone knows it. If Japan were to return to the path of militarism, it would surely fall into the abyss where no one could go back. We urge Japan to actually understand the situation clearly, reflect and correct errors, completely abandon any misguided plans, and not go further and further on the opposite side of the Chinese people and the international community.
