China admits plane entered Japan airspace in August but says it was unintentional

So far there's nothing Japan can do about it.

See the power of Trump.... China know from now they are going to deal with a true and powerful world leader. So they are changing from a bully to good boy... Before Trump start taking action ,, China shows their willingness to surrender to Trump. Great news for USA and Japan.

look The federal reserve is playing politics .. The Deep state wants to hide this truth... Because they need a puppet as president for them.

"It was a technical issue and there was no intention to enter a territorial airspace," the Chinese government was quoted as saying.

The ancient art of looking you in the eye and lying straight to your face. Agree with Marc above, the fact that they even felt the need to lie, ( and not just ignore ) is hopefully a sign that things are all about to change under the T man.

Right . . . unintentional . . . turbulence . . . , it just took nearly 3 months for China to think of that. Whatever!

Next time shoot it down.

Agree. Japan can do very little from it and there is no unintended movement of airplanes in the world. Laughable at such and excuse that I suspect is just to annoy the Japanese. Best Japan cozy up to China sooner than later. It’s in Japans overall security and business best interest.

No surprises with these hysterics against China for something that Japan have done recently and did not bring any danger. Blatant US propaganda to discredit any possible form of dialogue with a neighbor country. Trying to cover more dreadful stories, such as the ongoing tragedy in the Middle East financed by the US military complex.

For the English teachers here, this is a great chance to teach about the use of ironic quote marks: China said that it was "unintentional".

Unintentional response data was also collected but was the equipment's doing and no need to delete it now.

"Watch this airspace".

There you go - just a bit of turbulence.

Nothing to get worked up about.

China is asserting its dominance over Japan. Japan can only bow its head.

Probing the air defenses of a region rival and US ally. Looking at the government's response, seeing what, if anything, would be done about it.

Yes, the uninhabited Danjo Islands of zero strategic importance.

Probing the air defenses of a region rival and US ally.

No, this was a direct reply to the provocation by the Japan navy frigate destroyer which brazenly breached China territorial waters.

Chinese side is too polite and publicly decent to point that out, allowing Tokyo to have their chest puffing session and claim some sort of false moral high ground.

No, this was a direct reply to the provocation by the Japan navy frigate destroyer which brazenly breached China territorial waters.

If you're talking about the JSDF destroyer that passed through the Taiwan Straight, that was a month after the Chinese spy plane entered Japanese airspace.

No, not referring to the Taiwan Strait breach of Beijing's waters.

Am, however, referring to the incident on July 4 in which the JMSDF destroyer Suzutsuki sailed into China’s territorial waters off Zhejiang province where China had announced it would conduct naval drills. It entered without notification, sailed within 12 nautical miles of the coast despite repeated radio warnings.

Japan was responding to Chinese incursions.

Japan's Yomiuri newspaper reported on Thursday that the SDF destroyer Sazanami entered the Taiwan Strait from the East China Sea on Wednesday morning to send a message to Beijing, spending more than 10 hours sailing southward to complete the passage.

The transit was conducted in concert with naval ships from Australia and New Zealand, the paper said, citing multiple government sources. It added that the three nations' navies were scheduled to hold joint exercises in the South China Sea starting on Thursday.

Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi declined to comment on the report, while expressing concern about China's increased military activity in the region.

"We have a strong sense of crisis that airspace violations have occurred one after another over a short period of time," he told a regular press conference. "We will continue to monitor the situation with strong interest."

Japan has responded to stepped-up Chinese military activity with a defence buildup it says aims to deter Beijing from using military force to push its territorial claims in the region.

Oh, a tit-for-tat game with the Chinese. That's been going on for a while...

Shoot em down first next time, ask questions later.

Too late and highly not credible. Typical China.
