A Chinese military spokesperson has accused Japan of interfering with its training operations in the Miyako Strait, specifically citing disruptions caused by Japanese Self-Defense Force aircraft during exercises involving the CNS Liaoning aircraft carrier group. Wang Xuemeng, from the People’s Liberation Army Navy, condemned Japan for its alleged smear tactics and asserted that such actions threaten flight safety and disrupt normal operations. He called for Japan to cease these activities and indicated that China would take necessary measures to protect its security interests. This exchange underscores rising tensions in the region, particularly regarding military activities and the strategic balance in the Asia-Pacific.
