Japanese fighter planes flying around Okinawa in Japan faced a serious situation. A J-15 fighter flying from China’s aircraft carrier Liaoning locked the radar on Japan’s F-15 jet. This is the same situation when an aircraft prepares to fire a missile at the target in front of it. Describing this move as dangerous, Japan has lodged a formal protest with China.

According to the Japanese Defense Ministry, this incident happened on two separate occasions. The first time in the afternoon the radar was confirmed to be locked for about three minutes, while the second time this action lasted for about 30 minutes at night. Japanese planes kept a constant vigil, but the Chinese jets did not enter their airspace. No damage or injury has been reported.

Statement by Japan’s Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi

According to ABC report, Japan’s Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said that this is a clear violation of flight safety rules. Such steps can lead to accidents or major collisions in future. He demanded China to stop such activities with immediate effect. On the other hand, there has been no official response from China yet, whereas recently its Foreign Ministry had said that the Chinese Navy follows international laws.

Fear of increasing military tension

This entire matter has come to light at a time when tension has already increased in the relations between the two countries. A few days ago, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi had said that in case of any kind of military action on Taiwan, Japan will also play a role. China had termed his statement as a provocative comment. In this background, this incident of radar lock can further increase the military tension between the two countries.

US President Donald Trump has warned China that Beijing knows very well that if it attacks Taiwan, it will have serious consequences. Trump made this comment in an interview with CBS after meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump said that this issue did not come up during our meeting and he (Xi Jinping) himself did not raise it because he understands the situation very well. He also said that if something happens you will know, but he (Xi) knows very well what the outcome will be.

Trump, however, did not clarify what America’s reaction would be if China took any action against Taiwan. He said, “I cannot reveal my strategy. I am not one of those people who tell everything in advance, but the person on the other side knows what will happen.” Trump claimed that during his presidency, China never took any aggressive steps against Taiwan because they knew what the consequences would be. He said, “Xi Jinping and his officials openly said that as long as Trump is president, we will not take any action against Taiwan.”

US Defense Minister met China’s Defense Minister

Meanwhile, US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth met Chinese Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun in Malaysia. This meeting took place during the conference of defense chiefs of South-East Asian countries and just a day before Trump and Xi Jinping had talks in South Korea.

Hegseth said on social media platform The Pentagon reiterated that the US does not seek confrontation, but will remain steadfast in protecting its interests and maintain an adequate military presence for regional stability.

What did Admiral Dong Jun say to America?

During the meeting, Admiral Dong Jun told America to adopt a cautious stance on the Taiwan issue and stick to the policy of opposing Taiwan independence. Although the Communist Party of China (CCP) has never ruled Taiwan. It still considers this democratic island as its part and has been threatening to use military force to regain control.

In the past few years, China has continuously increased maneuvers around Taiwan, sending fighter aircraft almost daily, due to which tensions in the Taiwan Strait have reached their peak. American intelligence agencies say that Xi Jinping has instructed the army to be prepared for a possible attack by 2027. During his recent visit to Tokyo, Hegseth described China’s rapid military expansion as a real and immediate threat to the Indo-Pacific and said the US-Japan alliance is critical to responding to this threat.
