The Russian army circled, the Russian army circled, the Russian army circled the People's Liberation Army; the People's Liberation Army circled, the People's Liberation Army circled, the People's Liberation Army circled, the Russian army circled... Now around the Japanese island, the Chinese and Russian armies show the world what is called "beautiful scenery" .
According to Global Times citing Japanese media sources, Japan’s Ministry of Defense announced on July 2 that three Russian warships passed between Okinawa Prefecture Yonaguni Island and Iriomote Island The sea area between and the East China Sea . It is worth noting that Yonaguni Island is located at the westernmost tip of Japan. This is the first time that the Ministry of Defense has reported that Russian ships have sailed through this sea area.
In order to facilitate the entry and exit of U.S. warships, Japan stipulated that the width of the territorial waters of the Tsugaru Strait, Osumi Strait, Soya Strait, and Tsushima Strait was 3 nautical miles. Therefore, the warships of any country are within the scope of international law. Within, you can cross these straits. The Russian warship's detour around the Japanese island is in full compliance with international law.
In recent times, Russian warships and military aircraft have frequently been hovering around the Japanese island, and they have conducted flights around the island from time to time. On June 8, the Japanese side even claimed that four suspected Russian military aircraft had flown into Japanese airspace, and Flying over the Sea of Japan west of Hokkaido . The activities of Russian warships and military aircraft around the Japanese island have frightened Japan, but it is purely self-inflicted.
After the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, Japan, as an Asian country, spared no effort to "stab a knife" in Russia. Japan's series of anti-Russian actions also successfully angered the fighting nation . Russia closed the door to Japan-Russia peace negotiations, completely dashing Japan's hope of getting back the Southern Kuril Islands through negotiations. On June 30, Russian President Putin signed a presidential decree announcing the takeover of the international energy cooperation development project "Sakhalin 2", dealing a heavy blow to the Japanese government.
The reason why Japan took off its disguise and changed its previous attitude of close contact with Russia and actively responded to the sanctions imposed by the United States and Western countries on Russia is that on the one hand, it wanted to use the power of the United States and Western countries to crush Russia and regain the Southern Kuril Islands at the minimum cost. On the other hand, it is to stand firmly with the United States and Western countries to expand Japan's international influence.
While showing its fangs towards Russia, in order to better integrate into the strategic layout of the United States, Japan also actively responded to the US strategy of containing China and acted as the "vanguard" of the United States on the Taiwan Strait issue and the South China Sea issue.
During the Warring States period, in order to unify the world, King Zhao of Qin actively adopted and promoted Fan Ju's "distance and close attack" strategy, focusing the struggle on the nearby Korea and Zhao Kingdom , and the more distant Qi Kingdom and The Yan State ignored it for the time being and made good relations with the relatively powerful Chu State and Wei State , thereby achieving the strategic goal of "getting an inch is the king's inch, and getting a ruler is the king's ruler", making Qin The power of the country has grown step by step, thus laying the foundation for the unification of China.
It now appears that Japan's current foreign policy also implies "diplomacy at a distance and attack at home". However, Japan has been studying Chinese strategy for so many years, but it has only scratched the surface. The prerequisite for "distant diplomacy and close attack" is to be stronger than neighboring countries. But compared to the two behemoths China and Russia, Japan can only be regarded as a caterpillar. Although it has the support of the United States, once China and Russia join forces, it will crush Japan to death in just a matter of minutes. thing.
Judging from the fact that warships from the two countries have taken turns sailing around the Japanese island in recent times, Japan's ambitions have attracted strong attention from China and Russia. If Japan insists on going its own way and is determined to be the "vanguard" of the United States, its fate of eventually becoming "cannon fodder" is doomed.
