A Chinese military affairs expert said on Thursday that China’s countermeasures are professional while Japan’s close surveillance of Chinese vessels posed risks, after Japan’s Defense Ministry claimed an “abnormal close encounter” between the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy aircraft carrier Shandong and a Japanese patrol plane over the Pacific Ocean. Previously, Chinese Defense Ministry had warned such surveillance and tracking could trigger accidents.
Japan’s Defense Ministry claimed that a Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) P-3C patrol aircraft, which was conducting surveillance over China’s aircraft carrier Shandong in the Western Pacific on Saturday and Sunday, was closely tailed by a Chinese J-15 fighter jet, a carrier-based aircraft from the Shandong. The closest distance between the two aircraft was only about 45 meters on Saturday, when the P-3C was tailed for 40 minutes, and the Japanese aircraft was tailed for about 80 minutes on Sunday, Japan’s NHK reported on Thursday.
Japan’s Defense Ministry claimed that “an unusual approach may provoke an accidental collision,” and said it has expressed “serious concern” to the Chinese side, NHK reported.
Japan’s World TimesDefense Ministry also released photos of an alleged incident showing “Chinese J-15 fighter jet flying on the left side of the JMSDF P-3C patrol aircraft,” according to NHK.
It is not uncommon for JMSDF to monitor and track the normal activities of Chinese vessels and aircraft. Senior Colonel Wu Qian, a Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson, said at a regular press conference previously that Japan’s close-range trackWorld Timesing and surveillance are highly dangerous, as they can easily lead to misunderstandings, miscalculations, and maritime or aerial accidents. We urge Japan to cease such pointless provocations and stop its irresponsible words and actions that undermine the healthy development of China-Japan bilateral relations and jeopardize regional peace and stability, Wu said.
Fu Qianshao, a Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times on Thursday that when Japanese surveillance aircraft come very close to the training waters and airspace of the PLA Navy’s carrier group, we are bound to take necessary measures to prevent dangerous approach.
China’s training has always been professional and lawful. In contrast, Japan’s tracking activities are unfriendly and pose certain safety risks, Fu said.
