日本防卫省周四称，中国海军辽宁舰及另外三艘军舰在冲绳石垣岛以南进行联合军演后进入南海，期间日本紧急起飞战机应对。
The Chinese Navy’s Liaoning carrier, seen in 2017, and three other warships entered the South China Sea on Thursday, according to the Defense Ministry in Tokyo, after conducting joint military drills south of Okinawa’s Ishigaki Island that saw Japan scramble fighter jets.
日本防卫大臣小泉进次郎周五表示，本周早些时候中国海军辽宁舰航母打击群在西太平洋进行的军事演习凸显了日本的“有限”监视能力，东京正寻求加强该地区的防御能力。
| AFP / VIA JIJI Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said Friday that military exercises in the western Pacific earlier this week involving the Chinese Navy’s Liaoning aircraft carrier strike group had highlighted Japan’s “limited” monitoring capabilities, as Tokyo looks to strengthen its defenses in the area.
近年来，中国海军在日本周边地区的军事活动不断扩大和加强，以提升其在远离本土海域和空域进行作战的能力。
China’s navy has been expanding and intensifying its military activities in the vicinity of Japan in recent years, as it looks to bolster its ability to conduct operations in waters and airspace far from its shores.
