The PLA Navy's Liaoning aircraft carrier formation conducted regular carrier-based fighter jet flight training in the waters east of the Miyako Strait and had made public the training sea and airspace in advance. During the training, Japanese Self-Defense Force aircraft repeatedly approached the PLA Navy's training sea and airspace and made harassment, seriously interfering with China's normal training activities and posing a severe threat to flight safety. Japan's relevant hype is completely inconsistent with the facts, the PLA Navy spokesperson, Senior Captain Wang Xuemeng, said in a statement on Sunday.
"We firmly demand that Japan immediately cease its slander and smearing, and strictly restrain its frontline operations. The PLA Navy will take necessary measures in accordance with the law to resolutely safeguard its own security and legitimate rights and interests," Wang said.
