Japan has strongly protested after Chinese fighter jets closely pursued a Japanese P-3C maritime patrol aircraft in international waters near Okinawa. The incidents occurred on June 7 and 8, shortly after China’s two aircraft carriers, Shandong and Liaoning, conducted their first joint operation in the Pacific. Japan warned that such close encounters risk accidental collisions and pledged to increase airspace surveillance while maintaining diplomatic communication with China. Beijing says the carrier exercises were routine training, not targeting any country.
