Japan invested 40 billion yuan to feed starfish, and after the failure of the plan, it asked the world for 700,000 square kilometers of land. Japan wanted to invest 40 billion yuan to obtain an exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical miles, but this "magic plan" was invalidated by the emergence of the crown of thorn starfish. We all know that Japan's land area is small, and after World War II, Japan has temporarily lost the opportunity to invade other countries and expand its territory.
However, the Japanese people's thirst for territory has become stronger over time, and when the path of aggression does not work, they want to "find another way." Unexpectedly, the 40 billion investment plan also failed, and they actually wanted to ask the world for 700,000 square kilometers of land, which is simply ridiculous.
Japan's desire to build islands is strong, and it is trying to expand its territory by all means
Even though the world is in a stage of peace, Japan's desire to expand outward is increasing day by day, and even if it costs huge manpower and material resources, they are also trying to expand the territory by means of artificial islands. In the eyes of the Japanese government, okinojima reefs in the western Pacific Ocean allow them to develop, which is actually a coral reef around, whether at low tide or high tide, the largest area is only a few square kilometers, which is pitifully small.
In the eyes of others, this can not be called an island, but Japan insists that it is "Okinodori Island", which is between Okinawa and Guam, and there are important military bases around it, if the international community determines that it is an island, then the resources around the island will be used by Japan, and when Japan deploys military forces on it, it is bound to seriously threaten neighboring countries.
The island-building plan failed, and Japan demanded 700,000 square kilometers of land
In order to realize the dream, Japan directly issued a request to the United Nations, which eventually refused on the grounds that okinoki reef was less than 10 square meters, and Japan was indignant about this result, so it decided to spend a huge amount of money to build an artificial island and expand the area of Okinobird reef.
Japan firmly believes that long-term interests are far more important than temporary investment, so it has been island-building operations since the 1980s, and has set up "island-making offices" for this purpose, but it is extremely difficult to reclaim land in the depths of the ocean, even if the Japanese engineering departments exhaust their means, but the islands and reefs they have worked hard to strengthen are extremely fragile and vulnerable under the erosion of powerful waves. The international community has also criticized Japan's vigorous island-building operations, and some countries have bluntly said that islands created by unnatural results cannot be listed as exclusive economic zone islands.
In 2006, Japan thought of a new plan for coral island building, and in order to turn Okinodori Reef into an island, they decided to spend a huge amount of money to cultivate corals in the surrounding waters of the island reef. Over time, Japanese experts discovered that crown-of-thorn starfish in the sea would eat polyps, so Japan's plan was wiped out. Under such circumstances, Japan later demanded 700,000 square kilometers of economic area from the United Nations, which was directly rejected by the United Nations due to the mainland's strong opposition.
