(Adnkronos) – Beijing denounces the “dangerous behavior” of a Japanese military aircraft over the Pacific, responding to Tokyo’s accusations that Chinese fighters flew “unusually close” to its aircraft over the weekend.
“The root cause of the risk to maritime and air safety has been the close-in reconnaissance of normal Chinese military activities by a Japanese warplane,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian. “The Chinese side urges the Japanese side to stop this kind of dangerous behavior,” he added.
