The latest episode of Facts Tell examines the conflicting narratives surrounding a December 2025 military encounter near the Miyako Strait involving Chinese and Japanese aircraft. Japanese officials reported that a Chinese J-15 fighter jet utilized radar illumination during the incident. Conversely, Chinese authorities maintained that the Liaoning carrier strike group was engaged in scheduled training exercises and accused Japanese aircraft of obstructing the operation by entering the designated area. The program highlights how the framing of such events significantly alters public perception, noting that focusing on radar-lock claims implies an unprovoked escalation, whereas viewing the incident as a reaction to external interference provides an alternative context for the confrontation.
