A Japanese reporter questioned why the J-15 locked onto the F-15? A response from the Chinese side left him speechless on the spot!

On the 9th, a reporter from Asahi Shimbun asked a question at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, trying to get the Chinese side to acknowledge the so-called 'dangerous behavior'.

However, one of the Chinese responses was simply brilliant. The Chinese side directly retorted, saying, 'We actually suggest our journalist friends ask the Japanese side why the Japan Self-Defense Forces fighter jets need to appear in the relevant area and create this dangerous incident that should not have happened?' The Japanese reporter fell silent on the spot.

This statement seems understated, but it strikes at the core issue.

The Japanese F-15 actively approached the Chinese training area. In other words, the Chinese side had already informed about the exercise area, yet the Japanese aircraft insisted on intruding into the core area where the Chinese military activities were taking place. Why doesn't Japan publicly explain these details?

Countries such as the United States, Russia, and France, which have carrier-based aviation, generally turn on their radars for situational awareness during aircraft carrier training or offshore exercises. According to the Japanese logic, are these countries' actions also 'dangerous'?

The Japanese side chose to dispatch F-15s for close reconnaissance during the Liaoning's exercise, and afterwards, they exaggeratedly claimed they were 'locked onto by radar'. Their purpose probably goes beyond just 'playing the victim'; it seems more like using the situation to strengthen military deployment in the southwestern islands and push for a shift in domestic security policy by creating a pretext for public opinion.
