Frequent harassment by Chinese and Russian warplanes has disturbed flight security in East Asia and destabilized geopolitics in the western Pacific region, the Japanese Ministry of Defense said.
From April to December last year, the Japan Air Self-defense Force scrambled fighter jets 555 times to intercept foreign military planes, mainly from China and Russia, the ministry said in a report.
Most of the intercepts occurred in Japan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) to the southwest.
Of the 555 launches, 392, or 71 percent, were scrambled to intercept Chinese jets, and 148, or 24 percent, were to stop Russian jets.
The remaining 15 were made in response to aircraft from North Korea, Taiwan and other countries.

The Chinese warplanes included J-15 and J-16 jets, H-6 bombers, Y-9DZ electronic intelligence aircraft and BZK-005 uncrewed aerial vehicles, while Russian planes included Tu-95 bombers, IL-20 surveillance aircraft and IL-38 anti-submarine aircraft, the report said.

Sounds like good live training exercises for both sides.
Interesting too that China doesn’t seem to bother the Neocon Cheerleaders one bit here, only Russia. Perhaps that’s because China is good for business, or something like that?
Yes. Putinistas and Globalists both love Chicoms.

Ok, thanks, we kind of suspected you guys were in bed with China, hence no criticism of the country (until called out).
You’re nuts.
Or you would be if you weren’t knowingly saying whatever nonsense you spew.
I’m not the one IGNORING the China provocations, which are nearly THREE TIMES that of Russia, thus you guys have SOME EXPLAINING to do.
Why do you guys LOVE CHINA so much?
