A tense event took place in international waters: a Chinese plane took off from the moving aircraft carrier Shandong and soon after flew just 45 meters from a patrol aircraft of the Japan Self-Defense Forces (SDF). The incident occurred over the weekend and caused serious concern in Tokyo.
On Thursday, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi publicly called on Beijing to take measures to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future. Hayashi stressed that a close overflight of aircraft in international waters could lead to an accidental collision, which would be a serious violation of security in the region.
