12月9日，外交部发言人郭嘉昆主持例行记者会。

On December 9, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Guo Jiakun presided over the regular press conference.

在回答有关日方炒作所谓“雷达照射”问题时，郭嘉昆表示，中方已就该问题阐明了严正的立场，事实真相十分清楚。中方在有关海空域开展演训活动，符合国际法和国际惯例，相关的操作专业规范，无可非议。

In response to a question regarding Japan’s hype on so-called "radar illumination," Guo said that China has clarified its solemn position on this issue and the facts are very clear. China’s military exercises and training activities in the relevant airspace and waters are in full compliance with international law and international practice. The operation is standard, professional and beyond reproach.

舰载机在飞行训练时开启搜索雷达是各国通常做法，也是确保飞行安全的正常操作。我倒是建议记者朋友去问一问日方，日本自卫队战斗机为什么要出现在相关区域制造这场本不应该发生的危险事件？是不是在刻意滋扰中方正常演训活动，制造紧张事态？

It is a common practice for carrier-borne aircraft to turn on search radars during flying training, which is a normal move to ensure flight safety. "Instead, I suggest the journalists ask the Japanese side why the fighter jets of the Japan Self-Defense Forces were appearing in the relevant area to create this dangerous incident that should not have occurred. Were they deliberately disrupting the Chinese side’s normal exercises and training and stirring up tensions?" Guo asked.
