I always note that they’re unwilling to show a map of where these incidents occur.
Odd, that.
The story says they were in international waters, inside the Japanese economic zone. It’s easy enough to find a map of that area if you need it. What are you implying that they are trying to gloss over?
Japan’s EEZ only gives Japan rights for resource exploitation and whatnot. For the purposes of this issue, it’s international waters.
Though, Western media has a tendency of referring to disputed waters as “international” or belonging to whichever country is more friendly to the US.

Sonars are not just a little “ping” noise underwater. They can carry enough energy to kill. It’s not subtle.
Yeah but it doesn’t seem like anything actually happened. Article says drivers “may” have sustained minor injuries.
China is a bully. Crying about every little thing to the media doesn’t feel like the right way to handle them.
No, but like all propaganda, it helps to justify other actions and shapes opinion.

Don’t be an arse. Active sonar can be pretty dangerous, using it when animals are in the water is risky a.f.
The flag a ship is flying doesn’t change that it’s a pointlessly dangerous thing to do.
