Admin’s Note

This news clearly illustrates the tension in international relations. In particular, it has become evident that China’s military actions are impacting Self-Defense Force aircraft as well. As mentioned in the conversation between Chako and Log, proximity carries the risk of accidents and raises concerns about regional security. We are also required to deepen our understanding of international affairs and handle information with composure.
