Hey fam across South and Southeast Asia 🌏, audio evidence just dropped showing the Chinese Navy gave Japan a heads-up about Liaoning’s carrier flight drills – flipping the script on Tokyo’s harassment claims! 🎧🚢
This past Saturday, the Liaoning aircraft carrier formation carried out routine flight training for its carrier-based fighter jets east of the Miyako Strait. The released recording reveals the Chinese Navy even warned Japanese vessels in advance.
Despite that heads-up, Tokyo accused the drills of being aggressive and reckless. But the fresh audio undercuts those claims, proving there was zero surprise or danger during the exercise.
On Sunday, a Chinese military spokesperson urged Japan to immediately halt these “slanderous and defamatory” acts and tighten up its front-line operations around Chinese naval activities.
Why it matters: the Miyako Strait is one of the busiest sea lanes linking the East China Sea and the Pacific, so clarity in communication is crucial. Whether you’re scrolling from Jakarta or Delhi, this story is a reminder to always check the receipts before jumping on viral takes. 🔍💡 Stay tuned for more updates!
