Japan PM demands apology from China over radar lock: report

TOKYO: Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Friday demanded Beijing admit a Chinese frigate got a radar lock on a Japanese destroyer in international waters, and issue an apology, a report said.

"We wish China to acknowledge it (the radar lock), apologise for it and make efforts to prevent it from recurring," he told the BS Fuji TV station, Jiji Press news agency reported.

His demand came after Beijing flatly denied Tokyo's accusation about the radar lock.
