China Military Planes Lead to Tripling of Japan Jet Scrambles

While growing tensions on the high seas have been the main focus in recent territorial tensions between China and Japan, a report released by the Defense Ministry shows prickliness is escalating in the skies as well.

Japan’s Air Self-Defense Force has scrambled 83 times in the first half of the year to check out military aircraft from China buzzing Japan’s air space, according to the Defense Ministry’s Joint Staff Council on Thursday, more than triple the amount compared to the same six-month period in 2010.

It’s another reminder of how fraught Japan-China relations have become over a disputed archipelago in the East China Sea, called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. Japanese intercepts of Chinese planes occurred a total 96 times in the whole of last year, and just once in the first half of 2008.

While the Joint Staff Council said none of the Chinese aircraft entered Japanese air space, a Chinese Y-8 skirted the border on Sept. 8. The aircraft came within 150 kilometers of airspace north of the disputed islands. Japanese pilots were scrambled again two weeks later when another Chinese plane headed for the same slice of the sky, but did not venture as close as the previous incident.

A taste of their own medicine I'd say. I am pretty sure they were the unwanted neighbours of Korea and China back in the days. It's all coming back to haunt them now and they can add Russia to the list of intruders.

If Japan re-admitts China as their '宗族国' just like they did in the past, then East Pacific is going to be peaceful just like China kept it peaceful for 2000 years``until Japan got 'cocky'

Aggression??!! Belligerence??!! LOL

The article states that none of the airplanes entered Japanese airspace, so what is the problem?

Japan is cocky, ALL Chinese planes stayed in international air space, the closest is 150km from Japanese air space. What are the Japanese afraid of? Chinese invasion of Japan? LOL!!! More like rightwing in Japanese military played up the incidents for they wants more funding and expansion of their forces.

if india ever mess with china, china will wipe the entire indian civilization off the face of this map.
the 1962 war where china pummeled india into oblivion will look like a training run.

india challenged china in 1962 and india got taught a brutal lesson.

u mess with china again and we will finish what we started in 1962.

india vs china in a military fight is like palestine(india) vs israel(china) in a miltary fight.
india wont survive 1 week if china decides to make an example of india.
