China's foreign ministry issued a warning to Japan to "act prudently" following reports of Japanese military plans.
Beijing diplomatic spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Tuesday at a regular press briefing that Tokyo should realize peace "through action," referring to a report Japan is modifying the Izumo helicopter carrier for fighter jets, according to Xinhua.
"We urge Japan to do more that may help enhance mutual trust and promote regional peace and stability," Hua said.
Kyodo News reported Monday Japan's defense ministry is considering a plan to purchase F-35B stealth fighters for use on helicopter carriers.
The report stated the aircraft would be particularly useful in deterring Chinese maritime actions, including deployment of coast guard vessels near Japan-claimed islands.
