Jiang Bin, a spokesman for China's Ministry of Defense, criticized the actions of Japanese military aircraft near China's borders, the website of the People's Liberation Army of China quotes him as saying.

"...The reconnaissance carried out by Japanese ships and aircraft near our country's borders is a source of risks to security at sea and in the airspace between the two countries," Jiang Bin emphasized.

The official added that Japanese-Chinese relations will continue to develop within the framework of respect for each other's rights.

It is worth noting that for several years now, the PRC leadership has defined Russia as its priority partner among all neighboring countries. On Sunday, July 13, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived in China on an official visit at the invitation of the Chinese authorities.
