Egyptian TV personality Fifi (49) updated her SNS on August 8. She mentioned that a J15 fighter jet launched from a Chinese navy carrier irradiated radar twice over the high seas southeast of Okinawa Island on June 6 against an F15 fighter jet of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told reporters in Wajima, Ishikawa Prefecture, “It is extremely regrettable. We have strongly protested to the Chinese side and offered them strict measures to prevent a recurrence of such an incident. We will respond calmly and resolutely,” she said, expressing her intention to take all possible measures to ensure vigilant surveillance activities against the Chinese military. Japan-China relations are rapidly deteriorating due to Koichi’s comments regarding the Taiwan contingency, and there are fears that tensions, including on the security front, will further escalate. The Chinese Navy issued a statement in response, saying that “Self-Defense Force aircraft approached and interfered with the navy’s training sea and airspace multiple times, seriously threatening the safety of Chinese flights. Fifi quoted an article titled “Chinese Media ‘Japan Side Maliciously Stirring Up the Issue’ Radar Irradiation,” and said, “The country of China is really over, the Chinese media criticized the Chinese fighter jets for radar irradiating the SDF aircraft, saying that ‘the Japanese side is maliciously stirring up this issue. What are they talking about?
