Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference on December 9. In response to the question about Japan's hype about so-called “radar irradiation,” Guo Jiakun said that the Chinese side has clarified its strict position on this issue, and the truth is very clear. The Chinese side has carried out exercises and training activities in the relevant sea and airspace, in accordance with international law and practices, and relevant professional operational standards, and is beyond reproach. It is common practice in various countries for carrier-based aircraft to turn on search radars during flight training, and it is also a normal operation to ensure flight safety. Instead, I suggested that my reporter and friend ask Japan why did Japanese Self-Defense Forces fighter jets appear in the relevant regions to create this dangerous incident that should not have happened? Are they deliberately disturbing China's normal training activities and creating tension?
