12月，中国辽宁号航空母舰以及中俄轰炸机逼近日本四国及纪伊半岛附近的太平洋海岸，随后一同返航，此举恰逢美日联合军演，可能旨在测试盟国战备，日本防卫省消息人士向时事通信社透露。
这些行动发生在美军第七舰队航母乔治·华盛顿号与日本海上自卫队在关东地区以南进行演习的同时。在日本东部海域几乎相同经度处的协调返航，凸显了可能意在测试反应时间的意图。
这紧随同一部署中的早前事件，包括12月6日宫古岛附近中国军机对起飞的日本航空自卫队战斗机进行雷达照射事件，以及12月12日前后观察到的舰队进入东海的情况。
此类活动反映了解放军海军和空军实力的不断增强，在太平洋安全态势演变之际，加剧了中日及中美关系的紧张。
