China: Japan's Risky Jet Scramble 'Destroyed Peace and Stability in Region'
sputniknews.com
Tensions continue to mount in the East China Sea as Beijing now finds itself encircled by increasingly hostile neighbors bolstered by the Obama administration’s meddling.
On Monday, China’s defense ministry issued a stern statement to Japan regarding a scramble of military aircraft that looks to heat up mounting tensions in the East China Sea tinderbox.
Two Japanese fighter jets took “provocative actions” at high speed flying directly towards a pair of Chinese fighter jets that were carrying out patrols over the contested region on June 17, the defense ministry said in a statement without specifying exactly where the incident took place.
Beijing alleges that the Japanese pilots used fire-control radar to “light up” the Chinese aircraft according to the statement. Japan’s senior military officer acknowledged there was a scramble, but denied any radar lock of the Chinese jet occurred or that the incident turned dangerous.
“The Japanese plane’s provocative actions caused an accident in the air, endangering the safety of personnel on both side, and destroying the peace and stability in the region,” China’s Defense Ministry said while arguing that the Chinese pilots “responded resolutely.”
The statement regarding the incident follows Japan’s top military commander accusing China of escalating military tensions in the East China Sea and acknowledging that Japanese ‘emergency’ scrambles to counter Chinese jets doubled over the past three months.
