The Sino-Russian "Joint Maritime-2021 Military Exercise" that took place in 2021 is particularly memorable in Japan. Many Japanese media even directly used "making Japan feel uneasy" to describe this Sino-Russian joint military exercise. In fact, it made Japan feel uneasy that year. It is not the "in progress" of the Sino-Russian joint military exercise, but an action of the Sino-Russian joint naval formation after the military exercise.
At that time, more than a dozen Chinese and Russian warships could choose to enter the Western Pacific through the Soya Strait. After all, the Soya Strait was relatively spacious. However, the Chinese and Russian warships chose to enter the Western Pacific through the Tsugaru Strait, which is less than 40 kilometers wide. This The strait is between Honshu, Japan, and Hokkaido. It looks extremely narrow on the world map. Although Japan's territorial sea law defines such a narrow Tsugaru Strait as a specific sea area, allowing vessels from various countries to pass harmlessly, in fact This strait only serves U.S. military ships all year round. When more than a dozen Chinese and Russian warships passed through the Tsugaru Strait, it really scared Japan.
Today, memories that make Japan feel uneasy are happening again. According to a recent report by the Hong Kong media "China Review News", Chinese and Russian naval warships were divided into two groups within a week, forming a total of four groups to "sail around the sun" against Japan. ". The Japanese Ministry of Defense said: Maintain a high degree of vigilance regarding this "voyage around the sun" in which Chinese and Russian troops are divided into four groups.
Japan's "Kyodo News" directly issued an article saying: This reminds Japan of the joint "circling the sun" strategic cruise of the Chinese and Russian ship formations in October 2021. This is the Sino-Russian "Joint Maritime-2021 Military Exercise" we mentioned earlier.
Although Japan is "nervous" here and shouts "frightened", in fact, it is not unreasonable for Chinese and Russian warships to carry out such large-scale and frequent patrols in relevant waters. It is precisely Japan is unable to face up to history, refuses to give up its military ambitions, and cannot stop interfering in other countries' internal affairs, which has led to Japan's current "fear and fear." It can be said bluntly that this is the price Japan pays for its ambitions.
For example, in terms of relations with Russia, Japan took advantage of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine to join the sanctions camp against Russia, but in fact it was seeking to regain its so-called " four northern islands ". Japan's behavior was an attack on itself the defeated country in World War II The identity is denied, because according to the "Yalta Agreement" signed in 1945, this territory already belongs to the Soviet Union and should be called the Southern Kuril Islands.
At the same time, it has frequently deepened cooperation with Russia's "old enemy" NATO . Don't forget that the "combatant nation" has a bad temper.
In terms of relations with China, Japan has not given up its illusions about China's Diaoyu Islands and has made irresponsible remarks on China's East China Sea oil and gas field development and construction projects. Recently, it has frequently exposed China's internal affairs issues - the Taiwan issue. Wrong remarks were made. I wonder if Japan has hypnotized itself to the point of "forgetting" the war of aggression against China in order to "erase" its status as a defeated country. If Japan's memory is really so bad, we don't mind settling old and new scores together!
