Japan, China Trade Accusations as Spat Deepens After Radar Use

Beijing and Tokyo traded complaints against each other as their simmering diplomatic spat intensified over the weekend after Chinese fighter aircraft allegedly trained their fire-control radar systems on Japanese military jets.

A senior Japanese Foreign Ministry official reprimanded China’s ambassador to Japan on Sunday over the alleged use of the radar on the Japanese military aircraft, while China’s Foreign Ministry said Japan was making “false accusations” and lodged counter protests with Tokyo.
