Japan's defence ministry said on Friday that it has spotted Chinese Navy aircraft carrier "Liaoning" in the Pacific Ocean for the past seven days.

Liaoning and a few accompanying Chinese Navy vessels were spotted sailing and conducting aircraft landing drills in the waters about 280 to 1,020 km (174 to 634 miles) southwest of Japan's Okinotori island, the ministry said.
