I posted this in J-15 thread. We'll probably need to wait for the movie for full details:


On December 6 (Saturday) of this year, between approximately 16:32 and 16:35, an incident occurred in which J-15 fighter jets that had taken off from the Chinese Navy aircraft carrier "Liaoning" intermittently directed radar at an Air Self-Defense Force F-15 fighter jet that was implementing air defense identification zone violation measures against the said aircraft in the airspace over the high seas southeast of Okinawa's main island. ②On the same day, between approximately 18:37 and 19:08, an incident occurred in which J-15 fighter jets that had taken off from the Chinese Navy aircraft carrier "Liaoning" intermittently directed radar at a different Air Self-Defense Force F-15 fighter jet, which was implementing air defense identification zone violation measures against the said aircraft, in the airspace over the high seas southeast of Okinawa's main island. This radar lock-on exceeded the scope necessary for the safe flight of aircraft and constituted a dangerous act. We deeply regret that such an incident occurred and have lodged a strong protest with the Chinese side, making a stern demand for measures to prevent recurrence. Note that there was no damage to the Self-Defense Force aircraft or personnel.

Why are they complaining? it's international waters? are they stupid and don't know freedom of navigation?

Radar locks and jamming signals are problematic because they are how a real attack sequence would begin. And there is also no way to know the intention until the entire event happens. The US, especially, treats them as the real thing. So this is PLA taunting JSDF.
