Koizumi Caught Lying

"This is China Navy Warship 101. Our formation organizes shipborne aircraft flight training as planned. Over."
"China Warship 101, this is Japan Warship 116. I copied your message."

These recordings tell the truth better than any press conference: Japan's latest hype around China's Liaoning aircraft carrier group is nothing but a self-directed farce — a textbook case of "a-thief-crying-stop-thief".

Despite full awareness of China's training schedule and location, Japan repeatedly sent ships and aircraft to shadow, interfere, and escalate. Japanese F-15 fighters even closed in to about 50 kilometers from Chinese aircraft — a deliberate provocation. Tokyo then twisted this professional defense into a "radar illumination" accusation.

By sensationalizing this, Japan isn't protecting security but covering up its own intrusion. Koizumi's late-night press conference only exposed this narrative manipulation — playing the victim while provoking China.
