China's Foreign Ministry: "Misleading by Shifting the Focus," Warns US Not to Get Involved with Japan (December 10, 2025)

Regarding Defense Minister Koizumi's rebuttal that there was insufficient information about the Chinese military's radar lock-on against the SDF, China reacted by calling it a misleading shift of focus. At a press conference, the Chinese Foreign Ministry stated that Japan now admits receiving prior notification from China, making their story contradictory. They countered that Japan is trying to mislead the international community by shifting the focus. Furthermore, regarding the Chinese military's radar lock-on, they warned the US, which stated it was not beneficial to regional peace, that Japan is the main actor in this farce and should bear all responsibility, and that Japan's allies should be vigilant not to be dragged into Japan's agenda.
