As the Chinese New Year and the Winter Olympics approach, U.S. military operations around China are becoming more and more frequent, and it is expected that around the Winter Olympics, the U.S. military will have 3 aircraft carriers and 2 amphibious assault ships gathered around China. In addition, not long ago, the "Nevada" nuclear submarine, which claims to be the most powerful weapon of the US Navy, has also arrived in Guam and carried 160 nuclear bombs.
It is clear that the United States is ready to continue to exert military pressure on China during the Winter Olympics. At the same time, America's allies are becoming increasingly active, especially Japan, which is adjacent to China.
Since the end of last year, Japanese politicians have repeatedly made arrogant remarks on China-related issues, causing dissatisfaction in China, and the Chinese side has already issued solemn representations to the Japanese side. However, Japanese politicians are not dead-hearted, and in recent days they have made wild remarks and pointed to the situation in the strait.
According to reports, on January 18, Japanese Ambassador to the United States Koji Tomita attended an online forum held by a US think tank and spoke on the current challenges facing Japan and the United States.
Hiroshi Tomita said that for the challenges facing Japan and the United States, especially those that may undermine peace and stability, the two sides should communicate at a deeper level and ensure that both sides are prepared for this.
At the same time, he also said that Japan and the United States must strengthen cooperation and constantly improve the mechanism for responding to challenges, so that in the event of an emergency, the two sides can quickly respond and respond.
It is worth noting that in this online forum, Hiroshi Tomita also mentioned the Taiwan issue. He declared that the Taiwan Strait issue has become a very important issue for Japan and the United States, and japan and the United States are currently strengthening cooperation on this issue.
In addition, the US representative also made irresponsible remarks on the Taiwan Strait issue at the meeting, and hinted that the United States and its allies will continue to "speak out" on the situation in the Taiwan Strait.
It is not difficult to see from the remarks of Hiroshi Tomita and Tani Riyan that the United States and Japan have never given up their attempt to "use Taiwan to control China." And as China has grown stronger, the actions of Japan and the United States in response to the situation in the Strait have become more and more frequent.
According to previous reports, at the end of 2021, Japan and the United States have formulated a joint combat plan for the situation in the strait. According to the plan, once there is an incident in the strait, the US military will deploy in the Ryukyu Islands, which is less than 300 kilometers from the Taiwan Strait, so that it can intervene in the operation at any time.
In addition, according to Japanese media reports, Japan and the United States are currently discussing the joint stockpiling of weapons and ammunition. According to reports, not long ago, Japan and the United States held a "2+2" talks jointly attended by the defense ministers and foreign ministers.
However, compared with the past, this meeting is unusually low-key, and neither the Japanese side nor the United States has announced the specific content of the talks. But paper could not contain the fire after all, so the conspiracy between Japan and the United States was finally exposed.
According to Japanese media reports, after the "2+2" talks, the two countries issued a joint statement, claiming that they would continue to strengthen cooperation between Japan and the United States in defense, especially the use of common facilities.
It is reported that the use of the so-called common facilities actually refers to the United States storing weapons and ammunition in Japan and the sharing of airstrips between Japan and the United States.
In addition, the joint statement also mentioned that Japan and the United States will work to enhance the strength of the Self-Defense Forces in the Southwest Islands. The so-called Southwest Islands actually refer to the southernmost part of the Japanese island of Kyushu that extends to the southernmost part of the Ryukyu Islands.
It is reported that the Ryukyu Islands are very close to the mainland, and the southernmost island is only 110 kilometers away from Taiwan. According to reliable sources, the location where the United States plans to store weapons and ammunition in Japan is the Ryukyu Islands.
It can be seen from this that Japan and the United States have always been eyeing Taiwan and have never given up their attempt to "use Taiwan to control China." Japan, in particular, judging from its current behavior, has planned to follow the United States to the black.
It should be emphasized that China has stated many times before that the situation in the Taiwan Strait is purely China's internal affair, and no other country is qualified to interfere. The attempt of the United States and its allies to "use Taiwan to control China" is doomed to failure.
In addition to verbal warnings to Japan and the United States, the Chinese side has also responded strongly with practical actions, such as patrolling the Taiwan Strait. According to reports, on January 19, five PLA military planes once again entered the taiwan strait for cruising. Four of them are J-16 fighters and the other is a Y-8 anti-submarine aircraft.
Taiwan's defense department said that on the same day, the Taiwan military dispatched air forces to respond to the PLA military aircraft and opened anti-aircraft missiles for tracking and surveillance.
Since last year, our military's cruise operations over the Taiwan Strait have become more and more frequent. This move not only shows to the United States, Japan and other extraterritorial forces China's determination and strength to resolutely defend the security of the motherland, but also shows its attitude to the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island.
Cross-strait reunification is a historical necessity and is unstoppable by any country or force. On this point, China has stressed this point many times before and has exercised the greatest degree of restraint in certain provocative acts. If certain countries still want to continue to interfere in Taiwan Strait affairs, once they provoke China, they will certainly face a strong counterattack, and I hope that they will take care of themselves.
