[Global.net report] "A Chinese fishing boat broke down near the Senkaku Islands in Japan (my Diaoyu Island). The Chinese side instructed the Coast Guard to protect the fishing boat. Chinese fishermen ignored the Japanese warnings, in one of them. The island landed and was waiting for parts to be repaired. Amidst the tension and chaos, the panicked Chinese coast guard personnel began to fire on their Japanese counterparts.” On April 2, Nikkei wrote this imaginary scene at the beginning of the report. , Declaring that this will be " Japan Coast Guard nightmare scene". What's outrageous is that this article also declared alarmistly that "China plans to move 20,000 people to the Diaoyu Islands."

Nikkei Keizai Shimbun said that this "astounding" information was said by an expert who was invited to attend a meeting of the Liberal Democratic Party of last week. He declared that China is planning on Diaoyu Islands Expand the surrounding land, and then emigrate about 20,000 people there. The stunned Japanese parliamentarians gathered around the expert and asked a bunch of questions.
However, the news "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" that stunned the congressmen did not come up with any details or source. Basically, it said that, it was on the title of the report, and said that these nightmarish scenes Make the Japan Coast Guard eager to upgrade the "Senkaku Islands Defense."
So how to improve defense?
The Nihon Keizai Shimbun stated that, first of all, under the current legal framework in Japan, “Chinese fishermen’s landing on the Diaoyu Islands” is regarded as a “gray area situation” and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force will not be involved in this situation. It is handled by the Coast Guard. Reports accused China of introducing the "Maritime Police Law," which increased the risk of conflict in the gray area. The Japanese government stated that Japan’s Police Duty Enforcement Act allows firing on ships that are not authorized to land. If the police or the coast guard cannot respond appropriately, a phone call from the cabinet or a quick decision can be used. The Self-Defense Forces mobilized to participate in police operations.
and last week,The Liberal Democratic Party members attending the meeting wanted to push for a piece of legislation to "fill the gap." In the post-meeting document, the lawmakers called on Japan to amend the "Maritime Security Law" to allow Japanese Security Agency ships to fire on foreign ships that refuse to be expelled under the premise of complying with international law. They also demanded that the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force be deployed on outlying islands in an attempt to reduce the necessary reaction time in the event of hostilities.
Why do these things?
The Japanese abacus is still aimed at the United States.
The Nikkei reported that although Biden and his senior officials have repeatedly promised Japan that the defense of the Diaoyu Islands falls within the scope of Article 5 of the Japan-US Security Treaty, that is, if the territory under the jurisdiction of Japan is attacked, The U.S. military has a defense obligation. But this means that the Diaoyu Islands must meet the relevant definitions, which in turn means that the Japanese government has to prove that it does have actual control over the Diaoyu Islands. Democratic Party of Japan Former foreign minister Maehara Seiji declared that Japan must maintain actual control of the Diaoyu Islands. Another anonymous Japanese official said that unless Japan is willing to be at the forefront of defending the island, the United States will not have the will to take any action.
Chen Yan, executive director of the Japanese Enterprise (China) Research Institute, told the World Wide Web on the 2nd that last month, the heads of the United States, Australia, and India held an online meeting, followed by the Japanese and US foreign ministers and defense ministers. 2+2" meeting. Since then, Japan has been hyping up territorial issues. As for the reasons for this, on the one hand, the Japanese authorities have caused domestic dissatisfaction due to their inadequate epidemic prevention and pointed the finger at China, which claims to have a "territorial dispute" with Japan, which can divert attention to the epidemic to a certain extent. Secondly, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is about to visit the United States. A particularly important content of this visit is the issue of Japanese island defense. At this time, such an article paved the way for public opinion for the Prime Minister's visit to the United States.
As for the so-called "nightmare scene" imagined by the Japanese media, Chen Yan said that Japan has been hoping to find an opportunity and expects to use force to "deport" relevant Chinese personnel on the island in order to resolve territorial issues through war. This is a huge gap with Japan’s peace constitution.Because Japan has always emphasized that it does not use force to resolve international disputes, its constitution also stipulates this. Chen Yan said that although mainland, Taiwan, or Hong Kong fishing boats have landed on the island in the past, it is Japan that has landed the most. The Chinese Coast Guard is unlikely to lose control when patrolling nearby. Japanese media articles deliberately hyped up this "out-of-control situation", and also said that "to allow 20,000 people to move to the Diaoyu Islands", even in order to cooperate with Suga Yoshihide's visit to the United States, but this hype is still too low.
