Ministry of Defense: Japan's Intrusive Surveillance of China's Legitimate Actions Reveals Paranoid Delusions of Persecution

On the afternoon of October 29, the Ministry of Defense held a regular press conference, where Colonel Zhang Xiaogang, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense, answered reporters' questions.

Reporter: According to reports, the Japanese Ministry of Defense recently released data stating that from April to September this year, the Japan Air Self-Defense Force responded to Chinese and Russian military aircraft with emergency scrambles 442 times, an increase of nearly 70% compared to the same period last year, with 285 responses to Chinese aircraft and 152 to Russian aircraft. The Japanese Defense Minister claimed that the joint patrols by China and Russia are a "show of force" aimed at Japan. What is your comment on this?

Zhang Xiaogang: This is a common tactic used by the Japanese side to hype up the so-called "surrounding security threats," releasing such data with great seriousness, turning the tables and smearing China, which precisely confirms the dangerous behavior of the Japanese side frequently spying on and disturbing the legitimate actions of China and Russia, and also exposes the Japanese side's delusions of persecution and self-intimidation. We advise the Japanese side to put away this set of tricks and stop creating and amplifying a tense atmosphere.
