TOKYO —

Japanese fighter jets shadowed Chinese aircraft patrolling over disputed waters, China’s Ministry of Defense said on Thursday, in the latest flare-up of a spat over air space that has deepened a rift between the two countries.

Tension has been high between Asia’s two largest economies in recent months, with each accusing the other of flying military aircraft too close to its own jets in a long-running territorial dispute.

Both sides claim a string of Japanese-administered islets in the East China Sea, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. Beijing declared an air defence zone covering most of the East China Sea last year, sparking protests from Japan and the United States.

China took “necessary measures” when numerous Japanese planes entered its East China Sea Air Defense Identification Zone during China’s routine air patrols on Wednesday to safeguard “order and security”, the Ministry said on its website.

“Japanese F-15 fighter jets twice attempted to shadow Chinese patrol planes. China’s air force took reasonable, fair and restrained measures to respond to the threat,” the Ministry said, citing air force spokesman Colonel Shen Jinke.

Japan’s Ministry of Defense told Reuters it had no information on the incident.

In June, China summoned Japan’s defence attache to lodge a protest after the two countries traded accusations over the conduct of military jets.

China said Japan was exaggerating the threat posed by its military spending to justify its own build-up.

I wish Indonesia in near future to obtained F-15 from US, that's a bastard flying machine
 
Why did the Japanese do this now?

No more talk about Japanese wanting a Xi, Abel meet at APEC?

Japanese military planes enter China's ADIZ
August 8, 2014

According to Chinese Air Force spokesman, Shen Jinke, several Japanese aircraft entered China’s Air Defense Identification Zone over the East China Sea on Wednesday.

The Japanese F-15 aircraft twice attempted to approach Chinese planes that were conducting a routine patrol in the ADIZ. The Chinese planes then took "reasonable, proper and restrained" measures to cope with the threat.

The spokesman reaffirmed that the establishment of the ADIZ is a purely defensive move to safeguard national security, normal order and the safety of flights over the East China Sea.
 
They were in Japanese territory. And responded to provocation from a Chinese scout plane.

Territorial airspace is only 12nm. What you did is entering our ADIZ, harass and bully our patrol aircraft. Our American friend really need to explain why they allow you to do this.
 
China has begun armed air patrol over Diaoyu islands. Japan is humiliated again :lol:

PLAAF making a mockery of 30 year old F-15 airframes!
