How will China deal with Japanese fighters' interception(2)

Wang Ya'nan held that it is not necessary for China to dispatch fighters based on current situations, as the existing competition on the issue of the Diaoyu Islands between China and Japan is mainly for declaring the ownership. Therefore, maintaining the normal patrolling of surveillance ships at sea and Y-12 surveillance aircraft in the air is a huge containment against Japan. It is impossible for Japan to win the competition in such a war of attrition.

Dai Xu told the reporters of the Global Times on December 24, 2012 that a western proverb has that if your rivals pull out guns during the negotiation, you should do the same. This is the diplomatic principle of reciprocity. As Japan already dispatched its fighters, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) should dispatch its Su-30 or "Flying Leopard" fighters for patrolling. If so, what other fighters can Japan choose for interception? Japan always upgrades its competition with China on a non-peer-to-peer basis over the Diaoyu Islands issue. Japan's dispatching military aircraft to intercept Chinese maritime surveillance aircraft is a kind of qualitative-change upgrading. As a result, China should initiatively show its will to seek peer-to-peer fight back. Only if China takes a tough stance will Japan naturally show weakness.
