As Japan becomes more and more bold in provoking China, the People's Liberation Army has gradually increased its actions in the international sea and airspace surrounding Japan. Since May alone, the People's Liberation Army has made several training trips to the Western Pacific within two months, sending a strong warning signal to Japan. Especially the recent "cruise around the sun" of the 10,000-ton large-scale destroyer 055 Lhasa has left a deep impression on Japan.
According to a report from the Integrated Staff and Inspection Department of the Ministry of Defense of Japan, from June 12 to 13, the Lhasa fleet crossed the Tsushima Strait and entered the Western Pacific for training.
Then the Lhasa ship formation sailed clockwise along the Japanese archipelago until June 16th and 17th, when the "Dongpinghu" comprehensive supply ship in the Lhasa ship formation broke away from the formation and crossed the Tsugaru Strait.
The Lhasa ship and the Chengdu ship detoured Soya Strait and then entered the Pacific Ocean. Then the three ships merged and continued to sail clockwise along the Japanese archipelago.
At this point, the Lhasa fleet has completed its "sail around the sun". Although it was just a routine training, the sailing route still frightened Japan, so much so that the navy kept a close eye on the movements of the Lhasa fleet throughout the entire process.
It was not until the Lhasa fleet returned to the East China Sea that the Sea of Japan finally felt relieved. But what they did not expect was that as soon as the Lhasa ship completed its voyage around the sun, the Chinese naval ship appeared again in the Diaoyu Islands contiguous area, causing a strong reaction from Japan.
Subsequently, Japanese media released a report, saying that according to a report from the Japanese Ministry of Defense, earlier that day, a Russian Navy ship also entered the contiguous zone of the Diaoyu Islands and sailed for more than an hour.
Japanese media reported that this was the first time since 2016 that Chinese and Russian naval vessels were discovered sailing in the contiguous zone of the Diaoyu Islands at the same time. Japan claimed that it had lodged a strong protest with China.
However, regarding the Diaoyu Islands issue, China has long emphasized that the Diaoyu Islands and its affiliated islands have been Chinese territory since ancient times, not Japanese territory.
Therefore, the Diaoyu Islands contiguous zone is not Japan’s territorial waters. Both Chinese and Russian naval vessels have the right to harmlessly pass through these waters.
Now Japan is protesting to China about the Chinese warship sailing into the contiguous zone of the Diaoyu Islands. The result will only be self-humiliation. Japan is advised to take care of itself.
Recently, Japan has been frequently hyping up the Diaoyu Islands issue, which is not only a provocation to China, but is also not conducive to peace and stability in the waters near the Diaoyu Islands and the East China Sea.
Due to Japan's frequent provocations, in order to defend the territory and sovereign integrity of the motherland, my country's Coast Guard has recently significantly increased its patrol operations on the Diaoyu Islands and surrounding waters.
However, Japan still refuses to give up and insists on provoking China on the Diaoyu Islands issue. In addition to hyping up the Diaoyu Islands issue, Japanese congressmen also attempted to forcefully board the Diaoyu Islands on fishing boats.
However, every attempt by Japanese congressmen to land on the island was blocked by the Chinese Coast Guard. Once, the Chinese Coast Guard even confronted Japanese fishing boats and Coast Guard patrol boats for more than 36 hours, and finally succeeded in driving away the Japanese ships.
Whether it is hyping up the Diaoyu Islands issue or Japanese congressmen trying to force their way to the Diaoyu Islands, they are all manifestations of Japan’s ambitions, and our country must be more vigilant about this.
Currently, in order to break through the restrictions of its status as a defeated country, Japan continues to please the United States. At the same time, its provocations against China are becoming more and more serious. In addition to being provocative on the Diaoyu Islands issue, Japan also frequently makes arrogant remarks on issues such as the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea.
In this regard, the People's Liberation Army has already issued a warning to Japan with practical actions, including the 055 large-scale exhortation to the Western Pacific for training, and the H-6 bomber carrying live ammunition into the Western Pacific for cruise.The People's Liberation Army has used practical actions to tell Japan: China has the strength to safeguard the security and interests of the motherland. If Japan dares to cross the border, it will definitely encounter a powerful counterattack from China. I hope Japan will recognize the reality and take care of itself.
