Faced with China’s improvement in its ability to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, Japan is no longer calm.
According to Global Times news on June 25, the Japanese authorities told the outside world the day before that two Chinese coast guard ships sailed continuously for more than 64 hours in the waters of Diaoyu Islands this week. This is the longest time a police boat has stayed in the waters off the Diaoyu Islands in a week. The Japanese security department also disclosed the details of Chinese ships sailing in the waters of the Diaoyu Islands, saying that the Chinese ships entered the waters of the Diaoyu Islands in the early morning of Tuesday and continued to monitor a Japanese fishing boat operating in the waters until Thursday night. On Thursday, one of the Chinese Coast Guard ships sailed within 3 kilometers of the Diaoyu Islands.
The Diaoyu Islands have been China's territory since ancient times. It is reasonable and legal for Chinese ships to sail in the waters of the Diaoyu Islands. The Japanese side once again hyped up the "record breaking" of Chinese ships on the Diaoyu Islands, which is completely making a fuss, making trouble out of nothing, and maliciously provoking trouble. Although the dispute between China and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands is no longer as intense as the farce that Japan launched to "nationalize" the Diaoyu Islands, Japan has been fighting for the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands and has not relaxed for a moment.
Not long ago, a Japanese congressman named Jun Nakama took a boat to "fish" in the waters of the Diaoyu Islands. The sea is so vast, why did Zhong Jianjun brave the wind and waves to go to the Diaoyu Islands to "fish"? Obviously, he was using the guise of "fishing" to challenge China's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands.
From the details of the activities of Chinese Coast Guard ships in the waters around the Diaoyu Islands disclosed by the Japanese side, we can see three problems:
First, China controls the situation on the Diaoyu Islands in real time. The Chinese Coast Guard ship entered the waters of the Diaoyu Islands in the early morning of June 21 for the purpose of monitoring Japanese fishing boats operating in the waters. This means that the Chinese Coast Guard ship left the waters of the Diaoyu Islands this time to prevent Japan from borrowing fishing boats to operate. Violate China's territorial sovereignty. When Japanese fishing boats appear in the waters around the Diaoyu Islands, China can detect them immediately and take immediate measures. If China is not able to control the situation in the Diaoyu Islands in real time, how can it detect and take measures as soon as possible?
Second, the Chinese Coast Guard responded quickly to safeguard sovereignty. It is impossible for Chinese Coast Guard ships to stay in the waters of the Diaoyu Islands all the time. However, when a foreign vessel is found in the waters of the Diaoyu Islands, the Chinese Coast Guard can quickly enter the relevant waters to take targeted measures. This shows that the multi-dimensional intelligence perception capabilities With the support of China Coast Guard, it can safeguard sovereign interests more quickly.
Third, Japan is determined to provoke trouble maliciously. The waters around the Diaoyu Islands are not the traditional operating areas for Japanese fishermen. The reason why they appear in the waters around the Diaoyu Islands is actually because Japan uses fishing boats, a less sensitive method, to provoke China's sovereignty and even take the opportunity to "declare sovereignty." The reason why the Chinese Coast Guard ship sailed within 3 kilometers of the Diaoyu Islands was because the Japanese fishing boats had entered within the 12-nautical-mile territorial sea baseline of the Diaoyu Islands, and the Chinese Coast Guard ship had to expel them at close range.
It can be seen from this that when it comes to territorial disputes, it is impossible for Japan to "find its conscience" and give up its coveting of the Diaoyu Islands. In response to Japan's malicious provocations and hype, in addition to taking corresponding countermeasures, China must further strengthen its control over the waters of the Diaoyu Islands. While crushing all Japan's provocative activities, China will advance the construction of the Diaoyu Islands as soon as possible so that Japan will have no recourse. Take advantage of the opportunity.
The Chinese coast guard ship stayed in the waters off the Diaoyu Islands for a record-breaking 64 hours. This is a huge event in the eyes of Japan. However, as China’s maritime power grows, more and more such record-breaking incidents will happen. Because China has the ability to peacefully safeguard its territorial sovereignty, and it also has the ability to crush its opponents after breaking up with them. The more Japan cooperates with the United States in provoking China, the more unhappy it will be.
