The Chinese military surveillance plane's breach of Japanese airspace marks the first known incursion by China's military into Japan's territorial airspace, highlighting escalating tensions.
As China continues to assert its borders in the East China Sea, the Japanese Defense Ministry revealed that Japan's Self-Defense Forces had to scramble jets 669 times last year to intercept foreign aircraft.
Military analysts view the airspace violation as a deliberate challenge to Japan's territorial sovereignty, especially in context of ongoing discussions between U.S. and China regarding regional tensions.
