It’s fairly apparent what the Japanese side is up to by spreading disinformation in military and security areas and creating tension at this particular time, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun on Monday when commenting on question concerning Japan's claim of Chinese PLA Navy’s carrier-based aircraft conducting "radar illumination" on Japanese SDF fighter jets.
The spokesperson stated at a press conference on December 8 that China has stated its serious position on the issue. The facts are very clear, he said. China’s exercise and training in relevant waters and airspace fully complies with the international law and international practice. The Chinese side’s maneuvers are professional, standard, and beyond reproach. To activate search radar during flight training is commonly done by carrier-based aircraft of all countries. It’s also a normal measure to ensure flight safety.
The spokesperson said that the incident arose from Japanese fighter jets’ deliberate intrusion into China’s exercise and training zones and close-in reconnaissance and disruptions on China’s normal military activities. Yet, the Japanese side blamed it on China and sought to mislead the world by falsely accusing China of “radar illumination.” China deplores and opposes the false accusation and has strongly protested to the Japanese side.
“We strongly urge the Japanese side to immediately stop its dangerous harassment of China’s military exercise and training, and stop all irresponsible allegations and political manipulation,” stressed the spokesperson.
外交部:强烈敦促日方立即停止滋扰中方正常演训活动的危险行为
12月8日,外交部发言人郭嘉昆主持例行记者会。在回答有关日方声称中国海军舰载机对日本自卫队战斗机所谓“雷达照射”的问题时,郭嘉昆表示,中方已就这一问题阐明了严正立场,事实真���十分清楚。
中方在有关海空域开展演训活动,符合国际法和国际惯例,相关操作专业规范、无可非议。舰载机在飞行训练时开启搜索雷达,是各国通常做法也是确保飞行安全的正常操作。
此次事件的关键是日本战斗机擅自闯入中方演训区域,对中方军事活动抵近侦察干扰,还恶人先告状,炒作所谓“雷达照射”问题,颠倒黑白,嫁祸于人,误导国际社会,中方对此强烈不满、坚决反对,已向日方提出严正交涉和强烈抗议。
明眼人都看得很清楚,日方此时蓄意散布和炒作军事安全领域的虚假信息,渲染紧张局势,完全是别有用心。我们强烈敦促日方立即停止滋扰中方正常演训活动的危险行为,停止一切不负责任的虚假炒作和政治操弄。
