US EditionJapan Protests Chinese Fighter Jet's 'Abnormal Approaches'
- On June 7-8, 2025, a Chinese J-15 fighter jet from the carrier Shandong flew within 49 yards of a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force P-3C patrol aircraft conducting surveillance over international waters near Okinawa.
- These close encounters took place as two Chinese aircraft carriers, the Shandong and Liaoning, conducted simultaneous activities in the Pacific Ocean for the first time beyond the second island chain, raising concerns in Tokyo about Beijing’s expanding naval reach.
- The J-15 tailed the Japanese P-3C for 40 to 80 minutes, crossing within 900 meters and coming as close as 45 meters, which Japan's ministry called "abnormal approaches" posing collision risks.
- Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi stated that the Japanese government has conveyed strong concerns to China and firmly urged them to prevent similar incidents from happening again, while Tokyo is calling on Beijing to halt such flights and is increasing radar surveillance around its outlying islands.
- Despite the tensions, no damage or injuries occurred, but Japan continues close monitoring of its airspace and stresses the need to prevent similar incidents amid ongoing communications with China.
