According to Global Network reports, a frigate of the Chinese Navy appeared in the waters adjacent to the Diaoyu Islands. This is the fourth time that a Chinese naval ship has appeared in the waters since 2018. The Diaoyu Islands are China's inherent territory, but Japan still covets this Chinese territory. In addition to the appearance of the People's Liberation Army frigates, a Russian Navy frigate also came to help, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force rarely came close interference, and conducted long-distance surveillance of Chinese and Russian ship activities.
This joint operation in the waters near China's Diaoyu Islands is also the second collaboration between the navies of China and Russia since 2016. The simultaneous appearance of Chinese and Russian warships on the Diaoyu Islands sent a clear message to Japan "not to covet China's Diaoyu Islands." Judging from Japan's rare move of not sending a ship close to interfere with Chinese and Russian ships, Japan has obviously received this message.
In response to the Chinese naval frigate's inspection of China's Diaoyu Islands, Japan lodged a diplomatic protest with China. Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Zhao Lijian responded briefly by pointing out that the Diaoyu Islands are China's inherent territory and that the Chinese navy's patrols around its territorial waters are beyond reproach. Japan has no right to criticize China.
The Diaoyu Islands have been Chinese territory in history. In modern times, Japan carried out aggression and expansion and occupied China's Diaoyu Islands through the Sino-Japanese War of 1898. The "Potsdam Proclamation" and other announcements at the end of World War II clearly emphasized that China would take back the Diaoyu Islands and other Chinese territories. . There is no ambiguity about the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands. The routine patrols carried out by Chinese warships on China's Diaoyu Islands are far from sufficient. As the United States and Japan continue to intensify the security environment around China and provoke various disputes, China's need to defend Chinese territories such as the Diaoyu Islands strongly calls for the arrival of China's deep blue navy.
Japan, as an Asia-Pacific country, has recently been playing the role of attracting wolves into the house. It is on the front line in response to the United States' hostility to China and Russia. It caters to NATO 's expansion into the Asia-Pacific and promotes its own ability to actively attack other countries and integrate its own military. Relevant expenditures are in line with the NATO standard of 2%. As a country that initiated and lost World War II and has yet to make effective changes, Japan's various practices are a source of great instability for regional security.
Many ships of the Chinese Navy have recently tested their actual ocean combat capabilities by passing through the Miyako Strait, an international waterway in the southern part of the Japanese archipelago, heading east to the Pacific Ocean, and then returning westward through the Tsugaru Strait, an international waterway in the northern part of the Japanese archipelago. For the first time, three Russian naval vessels traveled from north to south and then headed north to the East China Sea via the Miyako Strait . The Russian naval frigate, which appeared in the waters near the Diaoyu Islands one after another with the Chinese frigate, was one of the three Russian warships heading north in the East China Sea.
With the legacy of Japanese militarism that has brought severe suffering to China, Russia, Southeast Asia, and Pacific countries still lingering, Japan is trying to re-arm with the help of the United States and under the banner of NATO. China and Russia cannot sit idly by and ignore it. . In modern times, Japan has exhausted its desire for aggression and expansion, and has become enemies of all countries in the region, including the United States, Australia, China, Russia, Southeast Asian countries, and North Korea and South Korea. Japan is trying to militarize again by taking advantage of the United States' need to maintain hegemony in the Asia-Pacific. Its intentions are absolutely unacceptable. May succeed. The United States should also be wary of another "Pearl Harbor Incident" after Japan's military expansion.
In addition to coveting Chinese territory on the Diaoyu Islands, Japan is also the main instigator of the "Taiwan independence" forces in Taiwan. Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has repeatedly claimed that "whatever happens to Taiwan means something happens to Japan." Japan's current Prime Minister Fumio Kishida hyped and sold the so-called " Ukraine today, East Asia tomorrow" at the NATO summit. It played a very disgraceful role in the rampant "Taiwan independence" forces and tried to further induce external forces of NATO to interfere in the situation in the Taiwan Strait. As Japan's evil intentions continue to be revealed, the actions of the People's Liberation Army frigates patrolling China's Diaoyu Islands are obviously not enough.
