Japan should stop the 'radar illumination' drama By Zhao Manfeng | chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2025-12-09 16:55

https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202512/09/WS6937e426a310d6866eb2db61.html Japan's close-in reconnaissance and disruptions of China's legitimate military training exercises are causing real maritime risks. Yet, Tokyo plays the victim by leveling accusations that Chinese military planes threatened Japanese fighter jets by locking their fire-control radars onto them — fabricating pretexts to shift blame. China has firmly rejected these false accusations. If Japan cares about stability, it should stop its provocations, not point fingers.
