Japanese ‘fabrication’
THE deployment of armaments on southern China’s Hainan Island is the country’s sovereign right and a so-called no-fly zone is a fabrication by Japanese media, a defense ministry spokesman said yesterday.
Ren Guoqiang was responding to a question on a Japanese report that said “China is apparently beginning to build a no-fly zone in the South China Sea” for the deployment of a surface-to-air missile defense system.
In response to a question on the Diaoyu Islands, Ren said Diaoyu island and its affiliated islets had been China’s since ancient times.
“China’s armed forces will fully monitor Japan’s relative activities and take necessary measures,” Ren said.
