Conversation: China's defense ministry rebuts Japan's claim over radar targeting NHK

A: Hey! Did you hear about what happened between China and Japan? It's a bit of a drama!

B: No! What's going on? Tell me!

A: Apparently, China did some flight training near Japan. A Chinese plane used its radar towards Japanese planes.

B: Oh wow! That sounds intense. Japan was saying they didn't get enough warning.

A: Exactly! They said China notified them about the training, but not with enough details, like the exact location.

B: So, China’s saying they *did* tell Japan?

A: Yeah, China says they gave them the timeframe and location - about six hours south of a Chinese aircraft carrier. They claim Japan confirmed they received the message.

B: Seriously? So who's telling the truth?

A: It’s a bit messy. China’s also accusing Japanese planes of flying into their training area.

B: No way! So it's like a blame game now?

A: Pretty much! Then a Chinese media account even released an audio recording of a Chinese navy ship talking to a Japanese one about the training.

B: That’s… something else. Like a leaked recording!

A: Totally! Japan’s defense minister says they didn't get enough info to avoid danger. They were missing vital details like latitude and longitude.

B: So, Japan is saying China didn’t share those specifics.

A: Right! The newest statement doesn't say if China sent those details. It's all very confusing!



Summary
China & Japan dispute flight training near a Chinese aircraft carrier. China claims notification, Japan says details (location specifics) were insufficient, raising safety concerns. Both sides accuse each other of airspace violations & a recording was leaked. #ChinaJapan #diplomacy
