Text/Editor: Yu Xiaoran's notes
According to the global network, during the summit between the United States, Japan and the Philippines, the United States, Japan and the Philippines expressed serious concern about China's activities in the South China Sea and strongly demanded that China resolutely abide by the so-called South China Sea arbitration award.
China will never accept groundless accusations and malicious smears against its neighbors.
The arbitral award on the South China Sea issue is inherently flawed and is not binding in any way, let alone self-defeating.
China will continue to resolutely safeguard its sovereignty, rights and interests in the South China Sea in accordance with domestic and international law, and advise relevant countries to recognize the reality and not make mistakes again and again.
In the face of China's warning, Japan did not appreciate it.
Just a few days later, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who is visiting the United States, roared and made a big noise on the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea issues.
And this has provoked a harsh response from China's state media.
The "People's Daily" article pointed out that in the more than 2,000 years of Sino-Japanese exchanges, China has never posed any threat to Japan.
On the other hand, Japan embarked on the road of militarism for a time, waged wars of aggression, and committed heinous crimes.
Today, Kishida and others have not reflected on their historical culpability; they not only built the Yasukuni Shrine, but also tampered with Japanese textbooks, and they have not admitted their mistakes.
If Japan continues to act rashly, China will have to take necessary countermeasures.
At the same time, the United States and Japan are also closely colluding to promote Japan's "great military recovery."
As a major country in economic power second only to China and the United States, Japan's industrial capacity is beyond doubt.
What is worrying is that such a powerful military force is likely to once again become a front-line pawn of the United States in containing China in the Asia-Pacific region.
In the catastrophe of the forties of the last century, China, the United States and the Soviet Union paid a huge price before finally defeating the military monster of East Asia.
But now, the beast is coming back to life, which is really worrying.
Not only that, but there are also frequent environmental disasters in Japan, such as nuclear sewage leaks.
In addition, it is located in the Pacific Rim volcanic seismic zone, and natural disasters are continuous. These factors are likely to be regarded by certain forces in Japan as a pretext for promoting foreign military expansion.
If this trend is allowed to continue, the future of the Asia-Pacific region will be uncertain.
Therefore, it is necessary for China to continue to prepare for Japan in case the situation escalates.
In this regard, netizens also commented:
Japan has not yet reflected, China must be ready at all times!
What age is it? Still trying to make us accept unequal treaties!
Why are the Japanese so confident every time?
Back then, after the end of World War II, the United States, as the most powerful party, first carried out military occupation of Japan.
However, in order to reduce the cost of governance, the United States did not completely transform Japan's political system, but chose to control and connect with the local ruling class.
Under the auspices of the United States, the pacifist constitution was created to restrain and control Japan's military power.
However, this practice also prevented Japan's militaristic system from being completely eradicated.
At different times, the United States has also given Japan different roles.
During the Korean War, Japan served as an important logistics supply base for the U.S. military.
During the Cold War, Japan became an important industrial base for the United States to confront the Soviet Union. At present, in the context of China's rise, Japan is regarded as a frontier fortress in the US containment strategy against China.
At this year's US-Japan-Philippines summit, it is not difficult to see that the United States is attempting to relax Japan's military production capacity and expand its military on a large scale, in the hope that Japan can become a "sharp blade" against China.
As a matter of fact, it was reported earlier that the United States is also pushing Japan to join the "Aukus" agreement.
In view of the United States' ambition to build an Asia-Pacific version of "NATO," Japan's military expansion will be inevitable, which will greatly increase the risk of Japan's military expansion abroad.
Behind all this is that the United States has repeatedly supported and encouraged Japan's actions and fanned the flames.
However, China will certainly not sit idly by and ignore any act that undermines national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The South China Sea issue is the bottom line that China will never make concessions.
On March 23, China and the Philippines resumed direct confrontation in the waters near Ren'ai Jiao in the South China Sea.
In order to defend its territorial sovereignty, the Chinese Coast Guard took necessary measures to expel the Philippine vessel on the basis of law.
However, the Philippine side has completely misinterpreted the matter and played up China's "illegal" obstruction.
Just one day later, 29 countries openly "backed up" the Philippines.
On March 23, the European Union's External Action Service (EEAS) claimed that it was "deeply concerned" about the confrontation between China and the Philippines, falsely accusing China's legitimate actions in safeguarding territorial sovereignty as a "threat to regional security and stability".
The 28 member states of the European Union have followed suit, completely ignoring the truth.
In addition, the United States, Japan and other countries have also strongly supported the Philippines and continue to point fingers and irresponsible remarks on China on the South China Sea issue.
Japan's ambassador-designate to the Philippines was even more blunt, saying that Japan would "fight side by side" with the Philippines.
In the face of false accusations made by relevant countries, China sternly refuted them and continued to firmly safeguard its own rights and interests and peace and stability in the South China Sea.
At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 25, spokesman Lin Jian responded to this matter, saying that these remarks by the United States are reversing black and white and slandering China!
Moreover, the South China Sea issue has always been a matter between China and the Philippines, and no country has the right to intervene!
A few simple sentences have made China's position very clear!
The United States and Western countries have spared no effort to curry favor with the Philippines and exert pressure on China, which is in fact an attempt to intervene in the affairs of the South China Sea.
However, any threat to the country's territorial sovereignty and reunification will never succeed, and no one should want to get involved in China's territorial integrity!
This is China's bottom line!
