Japan said on Monday it scrambled jet fighters and dispatched aircraft and warships over the past two weeks to keep tabs on China's Liaoning aircraft carrier and five warships that conducted naval maneuvers and flight operations in the Pacific.
China's Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier Liaoning is seen in the East China Sea, in this handout photo taken December 25, 2016 by Japan Self-Defense Force and released by the Joint Staff Office of the Defense Ministry of Japan.
Japan monitored the operations after the Chinese naval group, which included missile destroyers, sailed between the main Okinawa island and Miyakojima island into the Western Pacific from the East China Sea on Dec. 16, Japan's Ministry of Defense said in a press release.
